Abstract:Medical image fusion is a powerful tool in the medical oriented applications such as diagnosis, treatment planning and image-guided radiotherapy. In this paper, a new medical image fusion approach is proposed based on Non-Subsampled Contourlet Transform (NSCT) and Adaptive sub band filtering. Though there are so many approaches proposed in earlier to find a more and clear fused image, they didn't focus on the computational complexity. Since the computational complexity directly related to the feature count, the rise in the level number of sub band images rises the computational complexity. The adaptive sub band filtering mechanism retrieves the informative sub band images only form all the obtained high frequency sub band images. Further to improve the fusion performance, the proposed approach fuses the low frequency subband images based on phase congruency rule and the high frequency subband images based on Log-Gabor energy rule. Visually and quantitatively experimental results indicate that the proposed fusion method can obtain more effective and accurate fusion results of medical images than other algorithms.
