Abstract

Computer aided navigation augments intraoperatively gathered U/S with planning information that the doctor carries out before the intervention on a CT volume. A crucial step for the navigation is the registration between CT and U/S. Our approach consists on a landmark based registration. The correspondences between both modalities are found automatically using a graph to graph matching algorithm. Therefore, liver and vessels are previously segmented. The whole process has being tested on 15 pairs of real clinical data. The results are promising.
