A reliable Ultrasound (US)-to-US registration method to compensate for brain shift would
substantially improve Image-Guided Neurological Surgery. Developing such a registration
method is very challenging, due to factors such as the tumor resection, the complexity of
brain pathology and the demand for fast computation. We propose a novel feature-driven
active registration framework. Here, landmarks and their displacement are first estimated
from a pair of US images using corresponding local image features. Subsequently, a …
