1. A device for tracking brain deformation, comprising:

  • a processing unit; and

    an interface unit;

    wherein the interface unit is adapted to provide a first 3D representation of a cerebrovascular vessel structure of a region of interest of an object to the processing unit; and

    to provide a second 3D representation of the cerebrovascular vessel structure to the processing unit; and

    wherein the processing unit has a register unit adapted to elastically three-dimensionally register at least a part of the first 3D representation with at least a part of the second 3D representation;

    wherein the processing unit has a determination unit adapted to determine a deformation field of the cerebrovascular vessel structure based on the elastic registration; and

    wherein the processing unit has an application unit adapted to apply the determined vessel deformation to a brain structure representation to determine a deformation of the cerebral structure;

    wherein at least the second 3D representation is based on X-ray image data.
