Image fusion for stabilized medical video sequence using multimodal parametric registration

Medical imaging is a boon to mankind. Processing of medical images is extensively blooming with the aid of technological advancements. Medical images taken from different modalities are stabilized to remove the jittery artifacts and further processed for fusing the images to enable the physicians to visualize the combined features of CT and MRI. Alignment of both the images is performed to ensure parametric registration so as to effectively blend and overlay for proper diagnosis. To assure the quality of the images, basic optimization is implemented and the subjective visualization and objective evaluation are performed. The proposed approach, image fusion with stabilization and registration outperforms the existing techniques in terms of subjective and objective evaluation. © 2020
