Abstract: In view of the limitation of most traditional multi-modal medical image fusion methods that cannot deal with the medical volumetric images,this paper presented a multi-modal medical volumetric image fusion method based on 3-D shearlet transform (3DST) and generalized gaussian model.Firstly,the preregistered medical volumetric images are decomposed into low frequency parts and high frequency parts by using the 3DST.Next,a novel fusion rule with the local energy is performed on the low frequency subbands.Moreover,an effective fusion rule based on Generalized Gaussian Model (GGD) and fuzzy logic is proposed for integrating the high frequency subbands.Finally,the fused image is obtained by the inverse 3DST.Through subjective and objective performance comparison,experiments on medical volumetric images show thatthe proposed method can obtain better fusion results.

Key words: 3-D shearlet transform, Fuzzy logic, Generalized gaussian model, Medical volumetric image fusion
