Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for imaging using an image-generating, endoluminal instrument () by means of which a sequence of 2D image data of a hollow channel (), in particular a vessel, of an object under investigation is recorded, wherein the images are recorded in a known temporal relation to a periodic movement of the object under investigation and spatial coordinates of the image are captured by means of a position sensor during each recording of an image () and stored as position data () together with the 2D image data of the image (). The method is characterized in that first position data () which does not lie in a predefinable movement phase of the object under investigation is corrected, before or after being stored, by interpolation between second position data () which does lie in the specified movement phase and/or by subtraction or addition of predetermined values. By means of the method a movement correction of the data can be performed without the need to reduce the volume of recorded image material.
