Abstract
Method of controlling of a radiology device, of the type comprising a means of emission of an X-ray beam and a means of reception of the X-ray beam, after it has crossed a part of the object's body, in which a three-dimensional image of a part of the object's body is reconstructed from a series of two-dimensional films, two-dimensional views of the three-dimensional image are produced at different angles of incidence, the angle of incidence allowing the best visualization of the part of the object's body are selected, the angles of incidence are stored in memory, and the angles of incidence are supplied to the radiology device for its positioning with a view to an intervention or procedure on the part of the object's body under fluoroscopy allowing a visualization in real time of two-dimensional.
