    Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented method of determining a control parameter for controlling a medical imaging device. The disclosed method encompasses acquiring an operating parameter such as an imaging depth of an ultrasound probe used for imaging an anatomical structure (e.g. an internal organ or bony tissue or cartilage) and using the operating parameter as a guidance for appropriately orienting an x-ray device to generate an image of the same anatomical structure from for example the at least substantially same perspective as the perspective used for generating the ultrasound image. In examples, this is accomplished by using a transformation matrix which is suitable to transform the operating parameter of the ultrasound device into a corresponding control parameter of the x-ray device, or by using an appropriately configured, specifically trained, learnable algorithm such an artificial intelligence algorithm for determining the control parameter of the x-ray device.
