modalities. By segmenting the same regions, it is possible to then perform a non-rigid label registration, which is a simpler task then directly registering the MRI and the ultrasound. This non- rigid warp is more common to the prostate region. Currently, this tool by RSIP Vision providesMRI to ultrasound registration using standard MRI scans and trans- rectal ultrasound images. However, further development is planned, such as extending the types of ultrasound scanners and providing higher accuracy when guiding the physician to correctly place the ultrasound probe.

By doing so, the warped MRI image can be created in real-time and locations of relevant regions can be displayed to the surgeon, as it would have if real- time MRI acquisition were possible. At this stage, a surgeon can navigate during the prostate removal surgery and avoid damaging the neurovascular bundle, which otherwise could cause erectile dysfunctions. The idea behind the registration is to utilize segmentation capabilities of both MRI and ultrasound. There are several organs in the proximity of the prostate, which can be detected in both
