A method for visualizing a region of interest inside an examination object into which an examination instrument has been introduced, and a tomosynthesis system for executing the method. Raw datasets are acquired from a number of lateral acquisition angles. A number of synthetic projections are calculated from the raw datasets. The synthetic projections are output in the form of an image sequence which represents the examination object in a rotating visualization. An image reconstruction device and a tomosynthesis system, as well as a computer program product and a computer-readable medium are described.
