Abstract
The invention relates to an imaging system for generating an image of a living object (11) like an image from a prostate during a brachytherapy. A first ultrasound data generating unit (40) like a TRUS probe generates first ultrasound data of a field of view (52) including the object and a second ultrasound data generating unit (50), which might be an ultrasound transducer on a brachytherapy catheter (12), generates second ultrasound data of at least a part of the field of view, wherein a segmented ultrasound image, in which the object is segmented, is generated based on the ultrasound data. In particular, spatial regions, which are not sensible by the first ultrasound data generating unit due to shadows (53), may be sensible by the second ultrasound data generating unit, which may allow for an augmentation of the first ultrasound data and finally for a segmented image having an improved quality.
