deformations during freehand prostate biopsies. It has two major components: 1) a trajectory-
based rigid registration to account for gross motions of the prostate; and 2) a non-rigid
registration constrained by a finite element model (FEM) to adjust for residual motion and
deformations. For the rigid alignment, we constrain the ultrasound probe tip in the live 2D
imaging plane to the tracked trajectory from the pre-procedure 3D ultrasound volume. This …
