Medical image fusion facilitates the retrieval of complementary information from medical images and has been employed diversely for computer-aided diagnosis of life threatening diseases. Fusion has been performed using various approaches such as Pyramidal, Multi-resolution, multi-scale etc. Each and every approach of fusion depicts only a particular feature (i.e. the information content or the structural properties of an image). Therefore, this paper presents a comparative analysis and evaluation of multi-modal medical image fusion methodologies employing wavelet as a multi-resolution approach and ridgelet as a multi-scale approach. The current work tends to highlight upon the utility of these approaches according to the requirement of features in the fused image. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) based fusion algorithm has been employed in both ridgelet and wavelet domains for purpose of minimisation of redundancies. Simulations have been performed for different sets of MR and CT-scan images taken from ‘The Whole Brain Atlas'. The performance evaluation has been carried out using different parameters of image quality evaluation like: Entropy (E), Fusion Factor (FF), Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) and Edge Strength (QFAB). The outcome of this analysis highlights the trade-off between the retrieval of information content and the morphological details in finally fused image in wavelet and ridgelet domains.

Planning Methods

Medical image fusion has a crucial role in many areas of modern medicine like diagnosis and therapy planning. Methods based on principal component analysis (PCA) have been extensively used in area of medical image fusion due to their computational simplicity. Methods based on multiresolution analysis are of attraction now due to their ability in extracting image details. A new method is proposed in this paper to benefit from these advantages. For this aim, firstly, images are transformed into multiscale space based on nonsubsampled shearlet transform (NSST). Secondly, principal components and weights of each subband are calculated. Averaging them yields weights necessary for fusion step. Finally, fused image is achieved by merging source images according to weights. Quantitative and qualitative analysis prove outperformance of our methods compared to well-known fusion methods and improvement compared to subsequent best method, in terms of standard deviation [Formula: see text], entropy [Formula: see text], structural similarity [Formula: see text], signal to noise ratio [Formula: see text] and fusion performance metric [Formula: see text].

This paper presents a new approach to the multi-modal medical image fusion based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Singular value decomposition (SVD).The main objective of the proposed approach is to facilitate its implementation on a hardware unit, so it works effectively at run time. To evaluate the presented approach, it was tested in fusing four different cases of a registered CT and MRI images. Eleven quality metrics (including Mutual Information and Universal Image Quality Index) were used in evaluating the fused image obtained by the proposed approach, and compare it with the images obtained by the other fusion approaches. In experiments, the quality metrics shows that the fused image obtained by the presented approach has better quality result and it proved effective in medical image fusion especially in MRI and CT images. It also indicates that the paper approach had reduced the processing time and the memory required during the fusion process, and leads to very cheap and fast hardware implementation of the presented approach.
