Method for visualizing a patient dose, computer program product and X-Ray apparatus
First Claim
1. A method for visualizing a dose of an X-ray radiation applied to a surface of a patient in a time period by an X-ray apparatus, comprising:
- providing a model of the surface of the patient;
calculating the dose of the X-ray radiation applied to the surface of the patient in the defined time period; and
visualizing the model and the calculated dose on the model,wherein the visualization is effected in an angular position coupled to a current angular position in which the X-ray apparatus is currently disposed.

Abstract
A method for visualizing a dose of X-ray radiation applied to a surface of a patient in a defined time period by an X-ray apparatus is proposed. The X-ray apparatus is adjustable to different angular positions. A model of the surface of the patient is provided. The dose of X-ray radiation applied to the surface of the patient in the defined time period is calculated. The model and the calculated dose on the model is visualized. The visualization of the model and the calculated dose on the model is effected in an angular position coupled to the angular position in which the X-ray apparatus is currently disposed.
