Abstract

ABSTRACT
In the field of medicine, to evaluate or to examine the inner body parts, different radiometric scanning techniques can be used. Some most commonly used scanning techniques include the computerized tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan but the images of various body parts taken by using these scanning techniques have their own merits and demerits. MRI scans can show the images of soft tissues very clearly but cannot show the images of bones and hard tissues peculiarly while coming to the images taken by using CT scan, the CT scan can show the images of the hard tissues like bones clearly but it cannot show the images of the soft tissues clearly such as the membranes covering the brain. If the images of both the CT scan and MRI scan are combined, then the resultant image will have the merits of both CT scan and MRI scan images. This paper will describe an image fusion technique to combine both CT scan and MRI scan images using MATLAB programming.
