Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2009080379A1] In a method for producing a stereotactic image (54a) of a patient (8) localized in a mammography device (4) for a biopsy to be carried out on the patient (8), the following steps are carried out by a control and evaluation unit (36): a) Waiting for a start signal (42) to be given by the operator (28), b) after receipt of the start signal (42), automatically carrying out the steps: c1) positioning an X-ray apparatus (16) of the mammography device (4) in a first predeterminable imaging position (26b), c2) capturing a first image (44b) of the patient (8) with the X-ray apparatus (16), c3) pivoting the X-ray apparatus (16) into a second imaging position (26c) that is different from the first, c4) capturing a second image (44c) of the patient (8) with the X-ray apparatus, c5) providing the first (44b) and the second image (44c) as a stereotactic image (54a).
