Abstract
A method for monitoring a surgical intervention with X-ray imaging by way of a recording system that is adjustable into different angulations includes recording a first projection image of an implant in a first angulation and, following a forward movement of the implant, recording a third projection image of the implant in a third angulation. The method further includes establishing the original position of the tip of the implant in the first projection image, establishing the advanced position of the tip of the implant in the third projection image, establishing a first epipolar line for the advanced position of the tip in the first projection image by the epipolar geometry determined by way of the first and the third angulation, and simultaneously displaying the first and the third projection images, wherein the established epipolar line is shown in the first projection image.
