1. A method for actuating a medical imaging device including a radiation source, embodied during a rotational movement around an axis of rotation to irradiate an irradiation region from a plurality of angular positions, the method comprising:
capturing an object position of a moving object relative to the irradiation region;
actuating the medical imaging device based upon the object position captured, of the moving object, such that an intensity of radiation emitted by the radiation source for a first partial number of the plurality of angular positions in a first angular range around the axis of rotation is reduced relative to a second partial number of the plurality of angular positions in a second angular range around the axis of rotation, wherein the object position captured is included within the first angular range; and
displaying, on a display unit, at least one of the first angular range or the second angular range, the display unit being arranged radially around a tunnel-shaped aperture of the medical imaging device and including a plurality of light sources in a circular arrangement.
