Abstract

A method is disclosed for performing an imaging examination technique. In at least one embodiment, the method includes measuring a first dataset via a first imaging examination technique, measuring a second dataset via a second imaging examination technique, segmenting the first dataset, transferring the segmentation to the second dataset, selecting at least one localization in the second dataset on the basis of the transferred segmentation, and measuring a third dataset via a third imaging examination technique such that the third dataset includes the at least one localization.
