Abstract

BACKGROUND: Diagnosis of prostate cancer requires histopathology of tissue samples. Following an MRI to identify suspicious areas, a biopsy is performed under ultrasound (US) guidance. In existing assistance systems, 3D US information is generally available (taken before the biopsy session and/or in between samplings). However, without registration between 2D images and 3D volumes, the urologist must rely on cognitive navigation.
