Linking of interventional and real time ultrasonic information with nonereal time anatomical information of, for example, a vessel or a tumor vascularization provided by x-ray rotational angiography requires high computational performance. According to an aspect of the present invention, an ultrasonic reference image is calibrated with respect to a high quality image acquired by a different imaging system. Then, during operational intervention, a registration or calibration of a data set acquired during the intervention is performed with respect to the reference image and not (as in state of the art devices) to the high quality image. Advantageously, this may allow for a fast fusion of the high quality image with the real time images and therefore allow for an improved tracking of operational interventions performed on a patient.
