1. A method for forming an image of an object, the method comprising:
providing data about the object by a first data processing device;
providing at least a first data record by the first data processing device, the first data record having first data, which comprise at least one of: (i) at least a first imaging parameter of a first imaging system with which the data about the object have been generated, and (ii) at least a second imaging parameter of a second imaging system with properties of which an image of the object is intended to be represented on a display unit based on the data about the object;
loading the first data record from the first data processing device into a second data processing device, wherein the first data record loaded from the first data processing device into the second data processing device has at least one of identification data of the data about the object and user identification data;
loading a second data record from a data memory into the second data processing device in dependence on the first data record loaded into the second data processing device, the second data record having second data, which comprise at least one of: (i) modification data for modifying imaging errors in dependence on the first imaging parameter of the first imaging system, and (ii) modification data for modifying the data about the object in dependence on the second imaging parameter of the second imaging system;
generating a processing data record based on the second data record or detecting that the second data record is being used as the processing data record;
forming a two-dimensional output image of the object by processing the data about the object with the processing data record, the output image having a predeterminable number of output image pixels; and
checking based on at least one of the identification data and the user identification data with at least one of the first data processing device and the second data processing device whether an authorization of use exists for using the second data record with at least one of the first data processing device and the second data processing device, and only generating the processing data record if the authorization of use exists.
