 This article presents the results of patients’ examination with Fusion technologies. Examinations comprised radiography, CT, MRI with an ultrasound. 28 patients with the diseases of the joints, liver and kidneys were examined. The methodology and research results of Fusion technologies are presented; the advantages and features of this technology in the context of a multidisciplinary clinic are discussed.

Key words: Fusion technology, radiography, CT, MRI, ultrasound examination, on-line examination.
