Abstract

A system for imaging a robotically moved medical object has a movement device for robotic movement of the medical object, a medical imaging device, and a processing unit. The processing unit is configured to receive a data set that maps a vessel structure of an examination object and is registered with the medical imaging device, and to determine an object path along the vessel structure toward a target region in the data set. The movement device is configured to move the medical object along the object path and provide an object parameter relating to a movement state of the medical object. The processing unit is further configured to control a positioning of the medical imaging device relative to the examination object as a function of object parameter and object path such that a predefined section of the medical object is mapped in image data acquired by the medical imaging device.
