Navigation systems are now frequently being used for guiding surgical procedures. Existing neuronavigation systems suffer from the lack of updated images when tissue changes during surgery as well as from user-friendly displays of all essential images for accurate and safe surgery guidance. ⋯ We claim that new features, as demonstrated in the present paper, using intraoperative 3D ultrasound in combination with advanced registration and display algorithms will represent important contributions towards more accurate, safer and more optimized future patient treatment.
