FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to means for carrying out visualisation-guided medical procedures. Method of processing X-ray image contains stages, at which: 2D X-ray image of anatomical area, which includes ultrasound probe, is received, ultrasound probe s detected on it, ultrasound probe is superposed with reference coordinate system, with taking into account evaluation of position and orientation of ultrasound probe relative to reference coordinate system. Superposition stage additionally contains stage, at which presented in digital form projection of 3D model of ultrasound probe is correlated with ultrasound probe detected on X-ray image, with obtaining evaluation of ultrasound probe position and orientation from correlated 3D model. Computer-readable carrier contains stored in it sets of instructions for system-processing unit for combination of ultrasound and X-ray images, which contains X-ray system of 2D X-ray image, ultrasound system, including ultrasound probe, processing unit and monitor for combined image presentation.
EFFECT: application of invention makes it possible to increase accuracy of position determination.
