Claim:
1. An X-ray imaging system comprising: an X-ray image acquisition unit, a display unit, an input unit, and adapting means; wherein: the X-ray image acquisition unit acquires a first stereo image of a volume of interest of an object in a first projection direction and acquires a second stereo image of the volume of interest in a second projection direction; the display unit displays the first stereo image and the second stereo image; the display unit comprises a first display device that displays first stereoscopic imagery and a second display device that displays second stereoscopic imagery; the first and second display devices are arranged in relation to a user's eyes such that the first and second stereoscopic imagery are formed, for the user, in a common viewing direction towards a virtual point of focus; the input unit determines the second projection direction from an input of the user; the user input indicates a change in a viewing direction of the user viewing the first stereo image; and the adapting means adapt a spatial relation between the projection direction of the image acquisition unit and the volume of interest of the object such that the second projection direction correlates with the change in the viewing direction.
