In this study we aim to develop an automatic artery and bone segmentation algorithm, which is required for future clinical implementation of US registration for surgical navigation. Various registration methods will be evaluated with the data of this study to obtain most optimal results. If automatic segmentation and registration is successful, the final accuracy of the developed US registration method for tumor tracking should be evaluated in future studies in patients eligible for surgical navigation. Eventually, we aim to replace the CBCT-scan with an automatic tracked US registration pipeline for a more efficient and accurate registration procedure, which could improve the applicability and accuracy of surgical navigation and patient outcomes.
