Software fusion is the combination of separate sets of CT and PET images into one study unit. A number of commercial packages have been established to suit this purpose. The packages normally have similar functions sets for visualization and fusion. The most common image fusion technique is manual setting of a single scan relative to another positioned in a 3- dimensional space‚ comprising of 9 free position adjustment parameters‚ each of them rotation in 3 directions and also size.
