Abstract
In a system and a method for generating an image dataset that contains superimposed or fused image data, a first system for the acquisition of a first image dataset of a subject and a second system for the acquisition of a second image dataset of the subject are provided that are different from each other. With a navigation system, the positions of the first and the second systems in the acquisition of the image datasets are determined, with reference to which the attitudes of the two image datasets in space can be determined, so that the two image datasets can be superimposed on one another or fused with one another.
