Low-cost imaging modalities can serve as a source of incomplete intraoperative data. For
example, (a) spatially registered intraoperative ultrasound image acquisition in the OR can
be employed to: (b) display an ultrasound image, (c) define the spatially equivalent preop-
erative MR image, and (d) generate an overlay superimposing the intraoperative ultrasound
on the preoperative MR to monitor tissue motion at selected subsurface locations.
