22. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
obtaining an ultrasound (US) image of a patient during treatment delivery; and
performing a deformable registration of the US image with a computerized tomography (CT) image obtained for the patient prior to the treatment delivery. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)

30. An apparatus, comprising:
-
an imaging system to provide a first image of a first imaging modality; and
a patient tracking module comprising processing logic to register the first image with a second image of a second imaging modality using at least one image atlas, the first and second imaging modalities being of different types. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)

37. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a diagnostic imaging system to provide a pre-operative image of a first imaging modality; and
an atlas handling module comprising processing logic to create a combined atlas for use in registration of the pre-operative image with an intra-operative image of a second imaging modality, the combined atlas having first imaging modality data and corresponding second imaging modality data. - View Dependent Claims (38, 39, 40, 41)

42. A machine-readable medium containing instructions which, when executed by a processing system, cause the processing system to perform a method comprising:
-
obtaining a first image of a first imaging modality; and
registering the first image with a second image of a second imaging modality using at least one image atlas, the first and second imaging modalities being of different types. - View Dependent Claims (43, 44, 45, 46)
