Co-registration or fusion of nuclear medical images with images of the same region obtained with a different modality, such as Computerized Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ultrasound (US) is improved by using the Compton scatter principle to enhance anatomical boundary secondary image information in nuclear image data that is optimized for imaging function. The alignment of the primary nuclear image data with image data of the second modality is facilitated through use of a geometric transform obtained by co-registering the Compton scatter image with the second modality image.
