probably result lower success rate compared to the experimental environment,
therefore, automatic registration of CT and ultrasound images require further
research and development.
Ultrasound image fusion with other modalities has signi
cant potential in trans-
forming image-guided therapy applications. Its bene
ts are not limited to navigation
of needle interventions. Other image-guided therapies including radiation therapy
may also bene
t from real-time, accurate localization of organs and pathological
tissues.
