A method of recording a 3D radiation image generated by a 3D camera of a region of interest of an object, the method comprising:
- defining the region of interest relative to a model image of the object and displaying the region of interest on the model image;
- determining locations of predefined features on the object on an actual image of at least a portion of the object in an image recording position;
- mapping onto the actual image of a patient positioned in the image recording position the region of interest corresponding to the region of interest displayed on the model image based on the locations of the predefined features;
- adjusting a source of radiation to emit radiation within the region of interest and generate a radiation image of the region of interest;
- detecting and storing the radiation image with a radiation detector;
- and
- reading out the radiation image stored in the radiation detector.
