1. A method for generating digital x-ray image exposures of an examination subject comprising: irradiating an examination subject with x-rays from an x-ray source having a field of view that encompasses a biopsy device interacting with the subject; detecting x-rays from said x-ray source attenuated by the subject and by said biopsy device with a digital x-ray detector; determining image acquisition and image processing parameters that were used for an x-ray image exposure of the subject without the presence of the biopsy device; and generating an x-ray image of the subject interacting with the biopsy device using said image acquisition and image processing parameters.
