Fusion imaging of ultrasonography with CT or MRI
Main Article Content
Abstract
Fusion imaging of ultrasonography with CT or MRI is the technique that creates hybrid images of two imaging
modalities and combines advantages of ultrasound such as dynamic real-time imaging with advantages of CT of
MRI such as high spatial and contrast resolution. The fusion imaging of ultrasound with other imaging modalities is a
recently developed technique of this decade and expected to establish new and useful application in clinical practice.
