Abstract
An imaging system for tracking brain deformation, a method for tracking brain deformation, a method of operating a device for tracking brain deformation are disclosed. A first 3D representation () of a cerebrovascular vessel structure of a region of interest of an object is provided (), and () a second 3D representation () of the cerebrovascular vessel structure are used to determine brain deformation. At least a part of the first 3D representation is elastically three-dimensionally registered () with at least a part of the second 3D representation. A deformation field () of the cerebrovascular vessel structure is determined () based on the elastic registration. The determined vessel deformation is applied () to a brain structure representation to determine a deformation () of the cerebral structure.
