Abstract: This image fusion is that to employ explicit luminance and to contrast masking models. In this paper, the wavelet transform is used along with Dual-Tree Complex. By this Dual-Tree Complex, Wavelet Transform of each input image will be divided and will be diagnosed carefully. From this DTC the coefficients are retained and the retained information would be in the most effective way. For this image fusion, Discrete Wavelet Transform is used. In this paper, the complexity of finding out the disease from the MR and CT images will be simplified.
