We developed a novel technique of the extracted-overlay function in CT/MR-ultrasonography (US) fusion imaging for radiofrequency ablation (RFA), in which only a tumor extracted from CT/MR images with a virtual ablative margin of arbitrary thickness is overlaid on US. The usefulness of this function is investigated in this preliminary report.
