Abstract

A method for actuating an X-ray device during robot-assisted navigation of at least two objects introduced into a body, such as a hollow organ, of a patient by at least one robotic system, includes providing a first selection criterion for selecting one of the objects, and providing a second selection criterion for selecting one of the objects. One of the at least two objects is selected based on the first selection criterion and the second selection criterion, and recording parameters of the X-ray device are automatically set, such that the selected object in an X-ray image to be recorded is highlighted compared to the at least one other object. The selected object may be highlighted with respect to image quality, image flavor, positioning on the X-ray image, and/or a collimator setting of a collimator of the X-ray device. An X-ray image is recorded with the set recording parameters.
