The invention relates to a method or x-ray device for creating a series of two-dimensional medical x-ray images to be related to each other in an evaluation of a patient with initially a first x-ray image and subsequently a further x-ray image being created, a deviation caused by a patient movement in each case between the further x-ray image and an x-ray image of the previously created x-ray images being determined and a relative position between an x-ray emitter and x-ray detector used to create the x-ray images and the patient being set in the sense of compensating for the patient movement depending on the relevant deviation, in order to guarantee over the entire extent of the series recording x-ray images which can be related to each other with few errors in an inexpensive manner despite movement of the patient.
