Claim Text:
1. A method in radiological imaging, the method comprising the following steps: determining a geometric position of a number of target objects in a second form of image data from a geometric position of the target objects in a first form of image data of an area of the body of an examination object, by: determining a number of interfaces of the area of the body in the first form of the image data and in the second form of the image data; determining a plurality of anatomical landmarks in the image data of the first form and in the image data of the second form; determining a geometric curve in the first form of the image data and in the second form of the image data, wherein each of the curves run at least approximately in the interface and through the plurality of anatomical landmarks; determining curve points in the geometric curves; determining a plurality of contours in the interface of the first form of the image data and in the interface of the second form of the image data; describing a geometric position of the target objects in the image data of the first form as a function of the contours of the first form of the image data; and determining the geometric position of the target objects in the image data of the second form as a function of the contours of the second form of the image data, by interpolating between contours of the first form of the image data and contours of the second form of the image data.
