Definition :
The term is used when multiple patient`simages are registered and overlaid or mergedto provide additional information.
Fused images may be created from multiple images from the same imaging modality. Fused images may also combine function with
anatomical reference . (1)

What we mean by ultrasound fusion
images-fusion between ultrasound andvarious visualization modes ( MagneticResonance Imaging MRI , Computedtomography CT , Positron emissiontomography PET ) to give more accurate imagein real-time targeting tumors .(1)

Different methods reveal different features
Plane-film X-ray maps the totalattenuation of X-rays , Good for bone
structure in accidents.
X-ray CT measures the X-ray attenuationcoefficient of the body at each point .True 3-D images. (2)

Repeated exposure and safety
Different modalities of imaging use different types of radiation(e.g., MRI uses radio waves, PET uses gamma rays), whichhave different characteristics. At all times, we should pickthe least invasive method.(2)
As Low As Reasonably Practicable

Patient acceptability
Different types of scan entail different degrees ofpatient discomfort. Some might require an injectionof a contrast agent. The scanning environment is alsoimportant . (2)

Ultrasound fusion with CT &MR
Fusion system can simultaneously show
both ultrasound imaging with previous magnetic
resonance (MR) and CT study. The basic concept ofimaging fusion depends on the idea that an MR/CTstudy creates a 3D data set that represents the
patients anatomy. The 3D data set can be stored inany convenient imaging network location .

US is the real-time modality, that allows touse a feature called Volume Navigation tovirtually project the patients previous
statics MR/CT data into the space where theclinician is performing a live, real-time,ultrasound. As the operator scans, the
ultrasound system shows both the real-timeultrasound and the corresponding slicethrough the previous MR/CT 3D data .

Sensors 2 probe sensors are a fixed distance
apart. If field distortion is present, this can varyand the environment issue can be reported tothe user, alerting them to a problem that cantbe seen. (1)

Data Registration
Registration procedure is needed toperform fusion imaging correctly . It isachieved by defining common anatomical
planes . First the transducer is placed parallelto MRI or CT volume data axial slice; secondthe common anatomical landmark such asportal vein bifurcation , are identified in thereal time ultrasound image and the MR or CTimage ; and third , these points are marked oneach image . (4)

Structure Mapping
After the suitable registration of the ultrasoundimage and the CT or MRI image , ultrasoundscanning can be viewed simultaneously with the
corresponding multiplanar reconstruction slicefrom the preaquired volumetric CT or MRI data inreal time . The global positioning system (GPS)tool, can visually track the marked position duringscanning (4) .

However, interventional treatment is easier toperform under ultrasound-guidance, while theexposure to increased doses of radiation isalso avoided. Thus, real-time virtualsonography combines the imaging advantagesof both techniques. (5)

Interventional applications :Ultrasound suffers from a relatively narrow
FOV . MR/CT, by contrast, has an optimalcontrast resolution and a wide FOV but lacksreal time.
Furthermore ,Ultrasound is well suited for
many interventional procedures because of itsreal-time imaging & portability. (6)

Tracking sensors are also incorporated intosome interventional devices such as introducersand ablation needles, enabling the display ofneedle location as an overlay on live ultrasoundimages . This can be useful for overcomingdifficulties in visualizing needles duringultrasound-guided procedures . Such devices may
allow procedures to be completed more quicklyand with fewer placement attempts, particularlyfor more complex cases . (7)

Figure a subtle lesion located at the dome of the liver
was difficult to identify by ultrasound alone. Byfusing CT and ultrasound images and locating thelesion on CT further evaluation can be done. (8)
