Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention provides a retrospective analysis of subject and/or implant positioning. Provided is a method and device for assisting positioning of a subject having an implant in X-ray imaging. The method comprises the steps of receiving (S1) X-ray image data of the subject including the implant, receiving (S2) exam request data indicating at least an exam type to be performed for the specific implant, and determining at least one set of image features being assigned to the requested exam type and indicative for positioning of the subject and/or the implant relative to an X-ray imaging device. Further, the method comprises analyzing (S3) an image content of the received X-ray image data for the determined set of image features, and determining (S4), from the analysis of the image content, a feedback being indicative for positioning the subject and the X-ray imaging device to each other with respect to a target positioning, to be provided for assisting the positioning.
