The objective of image fusion for medical images is to combine multiple images obtained from various sources into a single image suitable for better diagnosis. Most of the state-of-the-art image fusing technique is based on nonfuzzy sets, and the fused image so obtained lags with complementary information. Intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFS) are determined to be more suitable for civilian, and medi...

Medical images are increasingly being used within healthcare for diagnosis, planning treatment, guiding treatment and monitoring disease progression. Within medical research (e.g. neuroscience research) they are used to investigate disease processes and understand normal development and ageing. Technically, medical imaging mainly processes missing, ambiguous, complementary, redundant and distor...

We introduce a new hybrid approach for spline-based elastic registration of multimodal medical images. The approach uses point landmarks as well as intensity information based on local analytic measures for mutual information. The intensity similarity metrics are computationally efficient and can be optimized independently for each voxel. We have successfully applied our approach to synthetic i...

An effective similarity measure for multi-modal images is crucial for medical image fusion in many clinical applications. The underlining correlation across modalities is usually too complex to be modelled by intensity-based statistical metrics. Therefore, approaches of learning a similarity metric are proposed in recent years. In this work, we propose a novel deep similarity learning method th...

Medical imaging is becoming a vital component of war on cancer. Tremendous amounts of medical image data are captured and recorded in a digital format during cancer care and cancer research. Facing such an unprecedented volume of image data with heterogeneous image modalities, it is necessary to develop effective and efficient content-based medical image retrieval systems for cancer clinical pr...

Automatic registration of multimodal images has proven to be a difficult task. Most existing techniques have difficulty dealing with situations involving highly non-homogeneous image contrast and a small initial overlapping region between the images. This paper presents a robust multi-resolution method for registering multimodal images using local phase-coherence representations. The proposed m...

In recent years, mutual information has developed as a popular image registration measure especially in multimodality image registration. For different modality medical images, the contour of tissues or organs is similarity. In this paper, an effective new registration method of the multimodal medical images based on the contour mutual information is proposed. Firstly, get the contour through v...
