Zusammenfassung:Disclosed is a method for fusing a single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) image with a magnetic resonance image (MRI) capable of precisely inspecting variations in a musculoskeletal system by fusing the SPECT image with the MRI wherein the SPECT image sensitively responds to variations in the musculoskeletal system by imaging the activities of osteoblast cells and the MRI sensitively and precisely inspects variations in soft tissues. The method for fusing the SPECT image with the MRI comprises the steps of: (a) acquiring a computed tomography image of a part under inspection via an SPECT equipment at an image fusing part; (b) acquiring an MRI of the part under inspection via an MRI equipment at the image fusing part; (c) displaying a fusion line on the acquired computed tomography image and the MRI at a fusion line display part; and (d) overlapping the computed tomography image on the MRI, moving the computed tomography image to the MRI and fusing the computed tomography image with the MRI at the image fusion part.
