Abstract
A guide unit for guiding a medical object such as a needle includes a locking unit, by which the guide unit may be disposed on the medical object. In order to enable a position of a medical object to be precisely determined, an aligning element that is in a fixed pose relative to the locking unit is provided. A contour that has a higher radiopacity than a remainder of the aligning element is disposed on the aligning element.
