MRI‐only based synthetic CT generation using dense cycle consistent generative adversarial networks

Abstract

Automated synthetic computed tomography (sCT) generation based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images would allow for MRI‐only based treatment planning in radiation therapy, eliminating the need for CT simulation and simplifying the patient treatment workflow. In this work, the authors propose a novel method for generation of sCT based on dense cycle‐consistent generative adversarial networks (cycle GAN), a deep‐learning based model that trains two transformation mappings (MRI to CT and CT to MRI) simultaneously.
