title = "3D nonrigid registration and multimodality fusion for image-guided neurosurgery",
abstract = "We consider the problem of multimodality image fusion, with, emphasis on planning, navigation and control in neurosurgery. Given that images to be fused must be registered, we explore the issue of image i-egistration in neurosurgery. While rigid registration is appropriate for registering images that are either all pre-op(erative) or post-op, non-rigid registration is necessary to register, say, pre-op and intra-op images. This is a consequence of the {"}brain-shift{"} occuring when the skull is opened for surgery and of issue retraction and resection, e.g.: for tumor removal. We describe our finite- element-based nonrigid registration and fusion systems. Our approach to fusion is inspired from the human visual system; it- was initially developed for remote sensing.",
