Abstract
paper reviews the various challenge in the field of medical image processing addressed by the researchers. The major challenge is that captured image suffers from the problem of low contrast and noise. Many enhancement methods have been proposed by researchers for enhancing the ccontrast of medical images before being further processed. The paper first reviews the enhancement methods used for medical imaging operations. Since wavelet Fusion methods are widely used for enhancing the medical images therefore paper gives broad classification of the medical image fusion methods. Paper concludes that medical image fusion efficiently improves the medical image quality but no fusion method works uniformly for different medical imaging accusation environments. Use of the an adaptive fusion methods with capability of selecting the optimum fission rule may improve the enhancement performance.
