The present invention relates to a system for indicating a position of an interventional device feature (11a) of an interventional device (11) respective an image plane (12) defined by an ultrasound imaging probe (18) of a beamforming ultrasound imaging system (15) in which the position of the interventional device feature (11a) is determined based on ultrasound signals transmitted between the ultrasound imaging probe (18) and an ultrasound transducer (16) attached to the interventional device at a predetermined distance (Lp) from the interventional device feature (11a). An icon providing unit(IPU) provides a first icon (Cde) indicative of a circular zone with a radius corresponding to the predetermined distance (Lp). The first icon (Cde) is displayed in a fused image that includes a reconstructed ultrasound image (RUI) from the beamforming ultrasound imaging system. 本发明涉及一种用于指示介入设备(11)的介入设备特征(11a)相对于由波束形成超声成像系统(15)的超声成像探头(18)定义的图像平面(12)的位置的系统，其中，所述介入设备特征(11a)的所述位置基于在所述超声成像探头(18)与在距所述介入设备特征(11a)的预定距离(Lp)处被附接到
