SMDFnet: Saliency multiscale dense fusion network for MRI and CT image fusion.

MRI-CT image fusion technology combines magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) imaging to provide more comprehensive and accurate image information. This fusion technology can play an important role in medical diagnosis and surgical planning. However, there are several issues with current MRI-CT image fusion, such as the presence of artifacts in both MRI and CT images, which may affect the quality and accuracy of the images during the fusion process.
