Abstract

A medical technical system computing unit for calculating a multi-dimensional image dataset from subject signals supplied to the computing unit and obtained from the examination of a subject with at least one pre-operative imaging method. A virtual, multi-dimensional image that can be calculated from the multi-dimensional image dataset via the computing unit can be displayed on a display unit. A controllable window can be displayed at the display unit via a window generator allocated to the computing unit. The image at the display means corresponding to a virtual location of the controllable window controllable is produced via a control unit allocated to the computing unit.
