Abstract

CT and MR scans are used in medical imaging to capture the information of targeted organs. For
better diagnosis these two models have to be combined into a single frame. Image fusion is atechnique
of generating proficient or interesting information from a set of source images. Fusion method is used
to obtain the maximum information with least information lossin a single image. A new fusion method
is proposed for medical imaging whereanisotropic diffusion is used to exclude source image into
approximation and detail layer. Guided filter is used to preprocess the excluded source images beside
with the help of stationary wavelet transform and weighted linear superposition final fused image is
obtained. Petrovic metrics are applied to access the execution of the proposed method. The
obtainedresults show that purposedmethod outperforms the other state of art method.
