Generation of a three-dimensional reconstruction of a body part by an X-ray machine

An X-ray machine for capture of at least two X-ray images for generation of a three-dimensional reconstruction of a target portion of a body part, wherein the body part comprises a portion of a blood vessel or an organ, the X-ray machine comprising:

• a capture unit;
• and
• a computing unit configured to:
• automatically analyze at least one first X-ray capture of the target portion of the body part supplied to the computing unit, wherein the first X-ray capture is captured at a first capture angle using the capture unit and wherein a center line of the portion of the blood vessel or the organ is identified, and
• evaluate a suitability of at least one further capture angle for the generation of the three-dimensional reconstruction of a same target portion of the body part based on the identified center line from the automatic analysis as an axis of rotation,
• wherein the capture unit is configured to capture a second X-ray capture at a second capture angle through a rotation of capture unit about the axis of rotation, with respect to the same target portion of the body part, for the generation of the three-dimensional reconstruction, wherein the second capture angle is a different capture angle than the first capture angle.

A method for an operation of an X-ray machine for generation of a three-dimensional reconstruction of a body part, the method comprising:

• supplying a first X-ray capture of the body part, captured at a first capture angle, to a computing unit of the X-ray machine;
• automatically analyzing the supplied first X-ray capture by the computing unit;
• evaluating a suitability of at least one further capture angle, by the computing unit, based on a result from the automatic analysis, wherein the evaluation of suitability takes account of at least one minimum requirement comprising a specified angular amount by which the first capture angle and the at least one further capture angles differ;
• setting a second capture angle on the X-ray machine when the at least one minimum requirement is met, either automatically by the computing unit, wherein a result from the evaluation is taken into account, or manually by an operator, wherein a result from the evaluation is displayed to the operator by a display unit of the X-ray machine;
• controlling an approach to the set second capture angle using a capture unit of the X-ray machine;
• and
• capturing the second X-ray capture at the set second capture angle by the capture unit for the generation of the three-dimensional reconstruction of the body part.
