Feature maps are divided into high-frequency and low-frequency sequences using Gaussian high-pass filtering and peak signal-to-noise ratio thresholding.

High-frequency and low-frequency features are fused using parameter-adaptive pulse coupled neural network and l1-weighted methods, respectively, within a novel feature fusion block.

Main Results:

The proposed framework achieves state-of-the-art performance in both qualitative and quantitative evaluations for multi-modal medical image fusion.
Validation on brain disease classification using fused images demonstrates significant improvement in classification performance.
Statistical significance tests confirm that the observed performance gains are attributable to the proposed fusion method.

Conclusions:

The developed deep multi-fusion framework effectively synthesizes features and preserves source image information.
The proposed method offers a significant advancement in multi-modal medical image fusion for clinical applications.
This approach holds promise for enhancing diagnostic accuracy and surgical planning in precision medicine.
