Abstract

A navigation device for brachytherapy is provided. The navigation device has a 3D imaging facility which can be moved relative to an operating table, and which is designed to obtain a 3D image dataset intraoperatively for a region of the body of a patient positioned on the operating table which is to be irradiated radioactively using at least one applicator. The navigation device has a control facility which is linked to the imaging facility and is designed to generate a volume model of the region of the body, in which volume model the at least one applicator is emulated in the position indicated by the position data, from the 3D image dataset and from position data for a spatial position of the at least one applicator.
