Abstract
In an embodiment, a method includes providing a three-dimensional structure image including surface data relating to external contours and structure data relating to internal structures of a body region; recording the body region via a camera system, to produce a recording while a patient is situated in or on the medical imaging system; registering, at least locally and as a structure image, the three-dimensional surface image in relation to the three-dimensional structure image; producing an overlay image including at least part of the structure image registered including structure data of the three-dimensional structure image in a form of an overlay with at least one of the three-dimensional surface image and a real view of a corresponding part of the body region of the patient; and controlling the medical imaging system to record body regions of the patient based upon an arrangement of the structure data registered in the overlay image.
