It has been desired to provide a method for accurately identifying a medical imaging marker mapped on a display image in correlation with an actual object. According to the present invention, one specific point (e.g., 1b) easy to identify on the display image is selected from a plurality of specific points specified by marker images (1b, 2b, 3b), and correlated with a corresponding marker pattern (1a) present on an actual marker plan diagram (4). Further, the marker images (2b, 3b) specifying the other specific points are successively caused to match in shape and position the corresponding marker patterns (1a, 2a, 3a) on the actual marker plan diagram (4) by translating an image sectional plane (5) perpendicularly to the plane or rotating the image sectional plane (5). Thus, a corrected image marker sectional plane (5') is prepared. This makes it possible to accurately correlate the display image with the actual object.
