3D ultrasound guided navigation system with hybrid image fusion

Abstract A prototype of a navigation system to fuse two image modalities is presented. The standard inter-modality registration is replaced with a tracker-based image registration of calibrated imaging devices. Intra-procedure transrectal US (TRUS) images were merged with pre-procedure magnetic reso...
