<p>The present invention relates to a device for use in image guided surgery. A stand-alone ultrasound based device (1) is provided for use in an image guided surgery system, comprising:•an interface (20a) suitable for interaction with a first neuro- navigation unit (8) not based on a ultrasound modality, to receive from said nonultrasonic neuro-navigation unit, pre-operative static computer tomographic or magnetic resonance images and realtime information on the position and movement of tools and probes used for image guided surgery, and•ultrasound image display means (3), suitable for showing realtime 2D and acquired intra-operative volumetric ultrasound images including intraoperative positioning and movement of probes and tools, and being capable of displaying said ultrasound images superimposed on the static CT or MR images received via said interface.</p> |
