This paper presents a new approach to multi-modal image fusion and visualisation using knowledge-based image processing. The task is to reconstruct the human cerebro-vascular system from the partial information collected from a variety of medical imaging instruments and then recombine these limited models into an anatomically accurate one. Good visualisation of the vasculature is essential in the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of brain disorders.
