Proposed pipeline for the simulation of clinical-like interventional ultrasound (US) images. Single images are extracted from the three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/computed tomography (CT) data and preprocessed. The MRI/CT data work as a clinical recording template for speckle texture and anatomy definition. Needle scatterers created artificially are added to the MRI/CT speckle texture. The MUST simulator merging information from the template image and the needle geometry accounts for the US image formation process
