Abstract
From advances in X-ray film and cassettes to the launch of computers and digital images, diagnostic imaging has never stopped reinventing its technology to improve patient care. Today, diagnostic imaging is on the cusp of meteoric growth in an arena known as fusion imaging. This technology melds two independent imaging modalities---- typically a procedure that demonstrates an organ’s function with one that potray the organ’s anatomy---- to produce a diagnostically and clinically superior study.
