Each ultrasound image from the live streamis registered with the X-rayimage based on the identified position of the medical device. The registration includes determining an offset from said identified position that is based on i) a predetermined spatial relationship of the ultrasound transducerrespective the medical deviceand ii) the determined location of the ultrasound transducerrespective the beamforming ultrasound probe
