In an exemplary embodiment, a computer tomography apparatus for producing transverse layer images has a patient-targeting device with a biopsy needle for being introduced into the patient along a path determined by the targeting device. A phantom apparatus with adjustable simulation parts for specific body locations provides for the alignment of the targeting device either via a simulation targeting device which is aligned using the simulation parts, or by releasably coupling the patient-targeting device (5) itself with the phantom apparatus for purposes of alignment.
