Abstract

Medical image processing entails the analysis and manipulation of medical images, such as X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging, or ultrasounds, to aid in diagnosis and treatment of diseases. With the increasing use of multiple imaging modalities in scientific research, the need for powerful multimodal fusion techniques has ended up important. Multimodal fusion techniques aim to combine information from different imaging modalities to enhance the accuracy and reliability of medical image analysis. There are numerous demanding situations associated with multimodal fusion in medical image processing, together with differences in image ...
