Computer‐assisted 3D ultrasound‐guided neurosurgery: technological contributions, including multimodal registration and advanced display, demonstrating future perspectives

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 userfriendly displays of all essential images for accurate and safe surgery guidance.
