Abstract
A method for controlling a movement of an x-ray apparatus is provided. The x-ray apparatus has a C-arm with an x-ray source and an x-ray detector disposed opposite one another, an actuator for positioning the C-arm relative to an examination region of an examination object supported on a support facility, a control facility for controlling the x-ray source and the x-ray detector and the actuator, and an operating facility with a display apparatus and an operating unit. The display apparatus displays an image representing a part of the examination object and a target location of the C-arm being determined as a function of an input at the operating unit. The target location has a target position and a target alignment of the C-arm. A controlled variable of the actuator is determined and supplied to the control facility for controlling the actuator.
