In clinical applications, single modality images do not provide sufficient diagnostic information. Therefore, it is necessary to combine the advantages or complementarities of different modalities of images. Recently, neural network technique was applied to medical image fusion by many researchers, but there are still many deficiencies. In this study, we propose a novel fusion method to combine multi-modality medical images based on the enhanced fuzzy radial basis function neural network (Fuzzy-RBFNN), which includes five layers: input, fuzzy partition, front combination, inference, and output. Moreover, we propose a hybrid of the gravitational searchalgorithm (GSA) and errorbackpropagationalgorithm (EBPA) to train the network to update the parameters of the network. Two different patterns of images are used as inputs of the neural network, and the output is the fused image. A comparison with the conventional fusion methods and another neural network method through subjective observation and objective evaluation indexes reveals that the proposed method effectively synthesized the information of input images and achieved better results. Meanwhile, we also trained the network by using the EBPA and GSA, individually. The results reveal that the EBPGSA not only outperformed both EBPA and GSA, but also trained the neural network more accurately by analyzing the same evaluation indexes.
