Claim:
1. A method for providing a three-dimensional or four-dimensional spatial anatomical model extending in all three spatial dimensions, of a body part of a patient with aid of at least one imaging examination modality, the method comprising: providing, by the at least one imaging examination modality, at least one digital representation of the body part; determining, by a control device, a digital model of the body part based on the at least one digital representation; transmitting the digital model to an output device; detecting, by a sensor device, an operator control action executed by a user's hand or forearm, wherein the operator control action specifies at least one control parameter, and wherein the operator control action comprises a bodily gesture that describes a marking, moving, removing, highlighting, or a combination thereof of a subregion of the spatial anatomical model; determining, by the output device, the spatial anatomical model as a function of the at least one control parameter that describes a relevant portion of the spatial anatomical model, a mode of representation of the spatial anatomical model, the portion of the spatial anatomical model, or the spatial anatomical model and the portion of the spatial anatomical model, or a combination thereof; receiving, by the sensor device, a further operator control action that describes a changing of the spatial anatomical model, wherein the described changing of the spatial anatomical model specifies an intervention that is to be transferred correspondingly to the body part; and generating a control signal for controlling a medical apparatus based on the further operator control action.
