• TITLE: Fusion Platform for Renal Cyst Characterization

  ABSTRACT: This work concerns the field of diagnostic aids that facilitate diagnostic decisions for practitioners, especially in medical imaging. The pathology in question, in this study, is the renal cyst. The diagnostic process starts from simultaneous acquisitions of double isotope (Teechnetium-99 m and Iodine-131) scintigraphic images. Then, the platform allows the fusion of these images and the calculation of a pathological parameter that permits the characterization of the state of the dysplasic kidney by comparing it with the normal one. The final result is fusion images annotated by the pathological parameter value.
