Dose values are displayed. The dose values display the take-up of radiation by an examination volume to be expected during an irradiation. An examination volume is segmented in an image, and the dose values are assigned to areas of the surface of the examination volume. The surface of the examination volume is displayed as a plane such that the areas displayed as flat will be graphically encoded by the dose values assigned to the respective areas.
