Abstract

Rapid and precise recording of a VOI is provided while monitoring a robot-assisted movement of a medical object through a hollow organ of a patient. For actuating an x-ray device that has a recording system, a user input for the recording of a recording region is accepted. A previously recorded three-dimensional volume image of at least part of the body, in particular of the hollow organ is provided. A length of travel covered by the object from measurement data and/or control data of the robotic system is ascertained. The current position of the object is ascertained on the basis of the three-dimensional volume image making use of the ascertained length of travel covered and a starting position of the object. The recording system of the imaging device is moved for isocentering and/or superimposing the recording region about the current position of the object. An image of the recording region is recorded.
