Abstract: Medical image fusion is the technique of integrating two or more images from various imaging modalities/scans to get a fused image with information having the details of anatomical information combined from all the modalities for accurate diagnosis and further treatment. This paper performs the analysis of various wavelet functions for decomposition and synthesis. PET (Positron Emission Tomography) and MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scans of Brain and chest are used and compared using Stationary Wavelet Transform (SWT) and Discrete wavelet Transform (DWT). Entropy is calculated which is a measure of information acquired after the fusion process. Keywords: Wavelet transform, Fusion, Stationary Wavelet Transform, Discrete, Medical image

The process of enriching the important details from various modality medical images by combining them into single image is called multimodality medical image fusion. It aids physicians in terms of better visualization, more accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan for the cancer patient. The combined fused image is the result of merging of anatomical and physiological variations. It allows accurate localization of cancer tissues and more helpful for estimation of target volume for radiation. The details from both modalities (CT and MRI) are extracted in frequency domain by applying various transforms and combined them using variety of fusion rules to achieve the best quality of images. The performance and effectiveness of each transform on fusion results is evaluated subjectively as well as objectively. The fused images by algorithms in which feature extraction is achieved by M-Band Wavelet Transform and Daubechies Complex Wavelet Transform are superior over other frequency domain algorithms as per subjective and objective analysis.

Medical image fusion is being used at large by clinical professionals for improved diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The main aim of image fusion process is to combine complete information from all input images into a single fused image. Therefore, a novel fusion rule is proposed for fusing medical images based on Daubechies complex wavelet transform (DCxWT). Input images are first decomposed using DCxWT. The complex coefficients so obtained are then fused using normalized correlation based fusion rule. Finally, the fused image is obtained by inverse DCxWT with all combined complex coefficients. The performance of the proposed method has been evaluated and compared both visually and objectively with DCxWT based fusion methods using state-of art fusion rules as well as with existing fusion techniques. Experimental results and comparative study demonstrate that the proposed fusion technique generates better results than existing fusion rules as well as with other fusion techniques.

Nowadays, there are a lot of medical images and their numbers are increasing day by day. These medical images are stored in the large database. To minimize the redundancy and optimize the storage capacity of images, medical image fusion is used. The main aim of medical image fusion is to combine complementary information from multiple imaging modalities (e.g. CT, MRI, PET, etc.) of the same scene. After performing medical image fusion, the resultant image is more informative and suitable for patient diagnosis. There are some fusion techniques which are described in this chapter to obtain fused image. This chapter presents two approaches to image fusion, namely spatial domain Fusion technique and transforms domain Fusion technique. This chapter describes Techniques such as Principal Component Analysis which is spatial domain technique and Discrete Wavelet Transform and Stationary Wavelet Transform which are Transform domain techniques. Performance metrics are implemented to evaluate the performance of image fusion algorithm.
