Zusammenfassung:	A method is disclosed for positioning a body region of a patient for a radiography acquisition by a radiography system. The method includes providing an examination requirement for the body region; pre-positioning the body region in the radiography system for the radiography acquisition; pre-positioning an acquisition unit of the radiography system for the radiography acquisition; producing a three-dimensional positioning acquisition of the body region using a 3D camera system; producing a preview image from the three-dimensional positioning acquisition, wherein a patient model is generated from the three-dimensional positioning acquisition and the preview image is produced from the patient model, and wherein the preview image depicts a representation as if made using the acquisition unit of the radiography system as intended in the pre-positioning adopted; and outputting at least one of the preview image and positioning information based on the preview image. An apparatus and computer readable medium are also disclosed.
