CONCURRENT DISPLAY OF MEDICAL IMAGES FROM DIFFERENT IMAGING MODALITIES

The present invention relates to a method for use in the concurrent display of medical images from different imaging modalities. A system and a computer program product for use in relation to the method are also disclosed. In the method, a primary image and a secondary image from a different imaging modality are fused. In the fused image, a first pixel group from the primary image having primary image data values within a first range are mapped to grayscale image values. A second pixel group from the primary image having primary image data values within at least a second range are identified, and the secondary image data values of corresponding pixels in the secondary image are mapped to color image values in the fused image.
