Abstract

A medical imaging system includes a medical imaging device to map a mapping region inside an examination object, the medical imaging device being designed such that a location of the mapping region is changable in respect of the examination object; and a processing device, including a data interface, to robotically position a medical object inside the examination object, via a movement device. In an embodiment, the processing device is configured to determine an instantaneous position of the medical object; specify a target position for the medical object, the target position being defined relative to the mapping region; determine one or more control signals, configured to cause a movement of the medical object via the movement device from the instantaneous position to the target position; and provide the one or more control signals, via the data interface, to the movement device.
