The Virtual Navigator advanced system allows the real-time visualization of enhanced Ultrasound Images thanks to the correlation with CT/MR gold-standard images. The combination of US with CT/MR reference modalities has as final result the data fusion of US and CT/MR images allowing to gain confidence in assessing the morphology in US images, specially in difficult-to-scan patients.

Power Point Presentation [4.5Mb]
- a fast, easy-to-use advanced tool that combines the advantages of real-time imaging with CT/MR high spatial and contrast resolution
- able to overcome all physiological and physical limitations that usually restrict the effectiveness of ultrasound scanning
- able to offer more confidence in assessing the morphology in US images
- potential applications related not only to liver, but also extendable to all patients and internal organs with reduced ultrasound answer
- spatial retrieval performed by the ultrasound probe thanks to the magnetic system identification
