Enhanced registration of ultrasound volumes by segmentation of resection cavity in neurosurgical procedures

ConclusionsWe proposed an innovative registration algorithm to compensate the brain shift affecting ultrasound volumes obtained at subsequent phases of neurosurgical procedures. To the best of our knowledge, our method is the first to exclude automatically segmented resection cavities in the registration of ultrasound volumes in neurosurgery.
