Abstract

Multimodality medical image fusion is used to improve the imaging quality and reduce randomness and redundancy in order to increase the clinical applicability of medical images for diagnosis and assessment of medical problems. In this paper a hybrid method based on the non-subsampled contourlet transform (NSCT) and fractional fourier transform (FRFT) is proposed. CT & MR images of different cases have been used to test the proposed method and results are compared with those of the other conventional image fusion methods by both visual analysis and quantitative analysis.
