Abstract
An imaging method, more particularly a mammography method, includes rotating a tissue region in the virtual domain. Projection recordings of a tissue region are generated by way of radiation emitted by an emitter, which radiation is captured by a detector after passing through the tissue region. Slice images are generated from the projection recordings. A slice image region corresponding to a partial tissue region is rotated virtually. The virtually rotating partial tissue region can be displayed as a set of virtual projections.
