Generating the synthetic CT (sCT) and synthetic MR (sMR: sT1w/sT2w) images of the brain using atlas based method
Introduction: Radiation therapy planning (RTP) is one of the clinical applications in which both CT scan and MRI are used. MR and CT images are applied to determine the target volume and calculation of dose distribution, respectively. In addition, using two imaging modalities increases the department workload and cost. In this study, an algorithm was presented to create synthet...
متن کاملMR-based synthetic CT generation using a deep convolutional neural network method.
PURPOSE Interests have been rapidly growing in the field of radiotherapy to replace CT with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), due to superior soft tissue contrast offered by MRI and the desire to reduce unnecessary radiation dose. MR-only radiotherapy also simplifies clinical workflow and avoids uncertainties in aligning MR with CT. Methods, however, are needed to derive CT-equivalent represent...
متن کاملPET attenuation correction using synthetic CT from ultrashort echo-time MR imaging.
UNLABELLED Integrated PET/MR systems are becoming increasingly popular in clinical and research applications. Quantitative PET reconstruction requires correction for γ-photon attenuations using an attenuation coefficient map (μ map) that is a measure of the electron density. One challenge of PET/MR, in contrast to PET/CT, lies in the accurate computation of μ maps. Unlike CT, MR imaging measure...
متن کاملAutomatic Abdominal Organ Segmentation from CT images
In the recent years a great deal of research work has been devoted to the development of semi-automatic and automatic techniques for the analysis of abdominal CT images. Some of the current interests are the automatic diagnosis of liver, spleen, and kidney pathologies and the 3D volume rendering of the abdominal organs. The first and fundamental step in all these studies is the automatic organs...
متن کاملMeasurement of the correlation coefficients between extracted features from CT and MR images
Introduction: Nowadays applying computer in image processing is being improved revolutionary for solving medical images deficiencies. Image features that are analysis in image processing show image information. The aim of the present study was to find correlation between CT- scan and MRI images' features. Materials and Methods: After data acquisition, applying...
