Abstract
A method of fusion of a first digital radiographic image obtained as a result of scanning with a second digital radiographic image obtained by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A CT interval of gray levels is selected first in the scanner image. Each pixel of the scanner image having a gray level lying within the CT interval is then replaced by a pixel obtained by digital processing of the pixel of the same coordinates as the MRI image. The final image corresponds to the scanner image in which the pixels of gray levels lying within the CT interval have undergone the digital processing.
