In a method for image generation and image evaluation in the medical field, raw data are generated by a selected medical modality, in particular a computed tomography scanner, depending on given modality parameters, and image data are generated from the raw data using an image reconstruction depending on given reconstruction parameters. The image data are evaluated by a given analysis application. Before acquiring the raw data, a secondary application automatically proposes a set of parameter values for the modality parameters and/or for the reconstruction parameters coordinated to the given analysis application and/or given patient information.
