ABSTRACT:
In a method and apparatus for acquisition and evaluation of image data of an examination subject that are to be created with at least one imaging medical imaging apparatus, generation of a whole-body overview image of the examination subject is generated and selection of an anatomical region in the whole-body overview image is selected. A point in the selected anatomical region is established that forms the origin of a whole-body coordinate system relating to the examination subject, and establishment of an associated, subject-related coordinate system is established/Upon a later examination with a medical imaging apparatus, a whole-body overview image and/or a partial image containing the origin and/or another marker point is/are generated, and examination (diagnostic) images of the examination subject (S3), are generated. Using new whole-body overview images and/or the partial image, the examination images and spatially arranged in the original whole-body coordinate system dependent on a comparison of at least one item of image information of the examination image with at least one item of image information of the whole-body overview image and/or at least one item of information of the partial image that is related to the whole-body coordinate system.
