During a neurosurgical intervention, the brain tissues shift and warp. In order to keep an accurate positioning of the surgical instruments, one has to estimate this deformation f...
We investigate a new registration method for ultrasound volumes relying on on a statistical texture-basedsimilarity measure. Texture information is given by spatial Gabor filters ...
Abstract. In this paper, we embed the minimization scheme of an automatic 3D non-rigid registration method in a multi-scale framework. The initial model formulation was expressed a...

3D registration of ultrasound images is an important and fast-growing research area with various medical applications, such as image-guided radiotherapy and surgery. However, this ...
The fusion of 3D freehand ultrasound with CT and CTA has benefits for a variety of clinical applications, however a lot of manual work is usually required for correct registration....
