We propose a novel medical image fusion scheme based on the statistical dependencies between coefficients in the nonsubsampled contourlet transform (NSCT) domain, in which the probability density function of the NSCT coefficients is concisely fitted using generalized Gaussian density (GGD), as well as the similarity measurement of two subbands is accurately computed by Jensen-Shannon divergence of two GGDs. To preserve more useful information from source images, the new fusion rules are developed to combine the subbands with the varied frequencies. That is, the low frequency subbands are fused by utilizing two activity measures based on the regional standard deviation and Shannon entropy and the high frequency subbands are merged together via weight maps which are determined by the saliency values of pixels. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method significantly outperforms the conventional NSCT based medical image fusion approaches in both visual perception and evaluation indices.

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
