The principle set-up of the system. The phantom (the patient, respectively) is imaged with the ab-3D-US and then with the MR. US images can be linked with the MR using tracker data and US and MR calibrations. During intervention the 3D TRUS image of the phantom will be taken and a 3D-US/3D-TRUS registration augments the image with the MR volume.
