Recording a panorama dataset of an examination object by a movable medical x-ray device

An x-ray device comprising:

• an x-ray source configured to emit a bundle of x-rays;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• record a first image segment at a first point in time, wherein the recording of the first image segment maps at least one part of an examination object;
• acquire position data, which maps a spatial position of the x-ray device at the first point in time;
• record at least one further image segment along an imaging path after a movement of the x-ray device, wherein the imaging path lies in a plane, and wherein a central ray of the emitted bundle of x-rays does not lie in parallel to the plane in which the imaging path lies;
• acquire further position data, which maps a spatial position of the x-ray device at the time of the recording of the at least one further image segment;
• uniquely assign the acquired further position data to the recorded at least one further image segment;
• and
• assemble a panorama dataset from at least two image segments with the position data assigned thereto from a set of all recorded image segments with the position data assigned thereto.

A computer program product having program code, wherein the computer program product is configured to be loaded directly into a memory of a programmable arithmetic unit of a processing unit of an x-ray device, wherein the program code, when executed in the arithmetic unit of the processing unit, is configured to cause the x-ray device to:

• emit a bundle of x-rays;
• record a first image segment at a first point in time, wherein the recording of the first image segment maps at least one part of an examination object;
• acquire position data, which maps a spatial position of the x-ray device at the first point in time;
• record at least one further image segment along an imaging path after a movement of the x-ray device, wherein the imaging path lies in a plane, and wherein a central ray of the emitted bundle of x-rays does not lie in parallel to the plane in which the imaging path lies;
• acquire further position data, which maps a spatial position of the x-ray device at the time of the recording of the at least one further image segment;
• uniquely assign the acquired further position data to the recorded at least one further image segment;
• and
• assemble a panorama dataset from at least two image segments with the position data assigned thereto from a set of all recorded image segments with the position data assigned thereto.
