An apparatus for positioning an x-ray machine including an x-ray source and a detector, the apparatus comprising:
- an aligning module for positioning the x-ray machine by matching a first x-ray image in a 3D data record created preoperatively or intraoperatively and noting at least one alignment point or a trajectory in the 3D data record for forming at least one second x-ray image.
A method for positioning an x-ray machine including an x-ray source and a detector, the method comprising the following steps:
- aligning the x-ray source according to a prescription of at least one alignment point or a trajectory being matched in a preoperative or intraoperative 3D data record and noted in a first x-ray image;
- and
- creating at least one second x-ray image.
