Abstract

Image fusion, or combination of two images obtained by different techniques, has been widely used in medical imaging. Vibro-acoustography (VA) is a new imaging modality that has been applied to both medical and industrial imaging. Combining unique diagnostic information of VA with other medical imaging is one of our research interests. In this work, we studied the VA and X-ray image pairs and adopted two methods for fusing the registered VA and X-ray image. In the first method, the fused image is defined as a linear combination of the VA and X-ray images. Moreover, a color-based fusion technique was employed to combine the images for better visualization of structural information. By combining the information from X-ray mammogram and VA modalities into a single image, the accuracy of mammography interpretation which is important for women's health can be increased.

摘要

图像融合，即通过不同技术获得的两幅图像的组合，已在医学成像中广泛应用。振动声成像（VA）是一种已应用于医学和工业成像的新型成像方式。将VA独特的诊断信息与其他医学成像相结合是我们的研究兴趣之一。在这项工作中，我们研究了VA与X射线图像对，并采用了两种方法来融合配准后的VA和X射线图像。在第一种方法中，融合图像被定义为VA图像和X射线图像的线性组合。此外，还采用了基于颜色的融合技术来组合图像，以便更好地可视化结构信息。通过将来自乳腺X线摄影和VA模态的信息组合到一幅图像中，可以提高对女性健康至关重要的乳腺摄影解读的准确性。
