1. A pressure control system for providing an interventional pressure to be applied to a defined area of a patient during a pre-interventional imaging process with an imaging system, wherein, the interventional pressure corresponds to an interventional pressure applied via a medical technology device to the defined area of the patient during an intervention, the pressure control system comprising:
a pressure plate;
a force module; and
a positioning apparatus,
wherein the force module is configured to apply a force on the pressure plate,
wherein the force on the pressure plate is operable to generate the interventional pressure,
wherein the positioning apparatus is configured to position the pressure plate and the force module relative to the patient, and
wherein the pressure plate comprises a coupling unit, and the force module or the medical technology device is releasably coupleable to the pressure plate via the coupling unit.
