Abstract
The invention relates to an interventional system comprising an introduction element () like a catheter for being introduced into an object (), for instance, a person. A moving unit () like a robot moves the introduction element within the object, wherein a tracking image generating unit () generates tracking images of the introduction element within the object and wherein a controller () controls the tracking image generating unit depending on movement parameters of the moving unit, which are indicative of the movement, such that the tracking images show the introduction element. This control can be performed very accurately based on the known real physical movement of the introduction element such that it is not necessary to, for instance, irradiate a relatively large area of the object for ensuring that the introduction element is really captured by the tracking images, thereby allowing for a reduced radiation dose applied to the object.
