Fusion can be described as the process of integrating information resulting from the collection of two or more images from different sources to form a single integrated image. This image will be more productive, informative, descriptive and qualitative as compared to original input images or individual images. Fusion technology in medical images is useful for the purpose of diagnosing disease and robot surgery for physicians. This paper describes different techniques for the fusion of medical images and their quality studies based on quantitative statistical analysis by studying the statistical characteristics of the image targets in the region of the edges and studying the differences between the classes in the image and the calculation of the statistical scale (mode) between the classes in the region of the edges before and after fusion. The results proved highly efficient in the integration of medical information and increase the sharping of contrast, force the separation and show the fine details between the classes.

IntroductionFusion image is merging two or more photos into a single image, and there are important features for all process and contains a description of the scene more accurate than any of the individual source images, with advances in technology, we can get information from images from different sources to produce a new high quality image which also contain anatomical and functional information. Thus, it can be described as a fusion image of a process that will improve the quality of information from a range of images. The aim of this technique is to integrate complementary information from images so that new multimedia images are more appropriate for the purpose of human visual perception and processing. Therefore, the fusion image is important to make many of the outstanding features of the new image, such as border and regions [1].Medical imaging systems play a vital role in human health care and provide complete information about the human body for better treatment. The fused image became a term commonly used in medical diagnosis and treatment. The term is used when multiple images are recorded for the patient and their interface or integrated to provide additional information. The goal of the medical image fusion is to maximize information and improve the quality of the image through the most powerful features offered by the different methods of collection [2].There are many previous studies in field image merge and some of them were selected due to their proximity to the field of research work where the study was conducted from Vishal P. Tank et al. . In this study, adopted edge detection to study the statistical characteristics of the different targets of the image in the edge region. And used technique unsupervised classification by minimum distance and studied contrast and mode between classes and feature extraction [3][4][5][6].
