ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for an imaging device, for anatomically assigning an image generated by the imaging device to object components of an object. Further, a computer program product and computer readable medium are disclosed, which are set up to carry out such a method. In the method, the object components are identified in a substantially autonomous fashion in an overview image that covers a larger area than an examination area. The image of the examination area is automatically assigned to at least one object component identified in the overview image given a known positional relationship between the image and the overview image, such that there is no need for an operator to carry out an individual assignment of the imaged object components.
