Claim One:
1. A computer integrated surgical system comprising: an ultrasound imaging system; a medical robot; and a workstation configured to receive ultrasound signals from the ultrasound imaging system and control the medical robot, said workstation comprising: a strain imaging module configured to compute strain distribution data corresponding to ultrasound imaging system signals and medical robot signals, wherein the strain imaging module computes the strain distribution data at a strain data frame rate; an ultrasound module configured to provide ultrasound image data reflecting the anatomical structure of the target tissue, wherein the ultrasound module provides the ultrasound image data at an ultrasound image data frame rate; and a volume rendering module configured to generate a visualization of target tissue based on a function of said strain distribution data and said ultrasound image data, wherein said function differentiates said target tissue from surrounding tissue.
