Comparison of state-of-the-art atlas-based bone segmentation approaches from brain MR images for MR-only radiation planning and PET/MR attenuation correction
Introduction: Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging has emerged as a valuable tool in radiation treatment (RT) planning as well as Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging owing to its superior soft-tissue contrast. Due to the fact that there is no direct transformation from voxel intensity in MR images into electron density, itchr('39')s crucial to generate a pseudo-CT (Computed Tomography) image ...
متن کاملUsing geometrical features to match CT and MR brain images
In this paper, we will show the feasibility of using ridgeness for rigid automatic matching of CT and MR brain images. Image ridgeness can be computed by convolving the image with derivatives of Gaussians. The speci c derivatives involved are based on the local gradient and second order structure. The width of the used Gaussian determines the locality of the ridgeness computed.
متن کاملGenerating 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 کاملReproducibility of Quantitative Brain Imaging Using a PET-Only and a Combined PET/MR System
The purpose of this study was to test the feasibility of migrating a quantitative brain imaging protocol from a positron emission tomography (PET)-only system to an integrated PET/MR system. Potential differences in both absolute radiotracer concentration as well as in the derived kinetic parameters as a function of PET system choice have been investigated. Five healthy volunteers underwent dyn...
متن کاملDevelopment of MR-Only Planning for Prostate Radiation Therapy Using Synthetic CT
The department of Radiation Oncology at Calvary Mater Newcastle, treats approximately 1,800 new patients per year. When it comes to prostate treatments, MR scans are used in addition to CT for treatment planning. Having to undergo two scans however is a burden both to patients as well as the health system. We have looked into addressing this by replacing the CT by an MR-only workflow when treat...
