1. An angiography method for determining angiography angles, the method comprising:
obtaining patient information and target vessel information, wherein the patient information defines individual medical information of a patient and wherein the target vessel information defines at least one target vessel to be imaged;
determining at least one angiography angle based on the patient information and the target vessel information;
determining a vessel coverage of the target vessel by analysis of angiograms obtained using the at least one angiography angle; and
based on the vessel coverage, determining additional angiography angles.
