The present invention relates to compositions and methods for provided fused images of external and internal body scans by fusing data generated from color external laser scans with internal magnetic resonance (MR) images. In particular, the present inventions relate to software for fusing and displaying images produced by fusing color 2.5D laser scans of the human face with 3D magnetic resonance (MR) brain images. Further, these fused images may be used for clinical and research applications, such as in methods for neurosurgical planning procedures.
