Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The manuscript gives an overview of the advantages of using image fusion for the treatment of different kinds of cancer. For a review paper, there is an unbalance between publications by the authors and others. This unbalance should be improved. 

The origin of the images must be provided. Are they from an own study specifically for this publication? In that case, which hospital. If the images are from another publication, please cite them.

Otherwise, the manuscript reads well and is suited for publication in Diagnostics Journal.
