Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for registration of preoperative images to ultrasound images. The preoperative images are segmented using a shape model. An ultrasound procedure is performed to acquire the ultrasound images. The path of an ultrasound transducer used in the ultrasound procedure is tracked. The path is used to deform the segmented preoperative images, providing an alignment. The ultrasound images are registered to the preoperative images using the alignment.
