Abstract

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: CT imaging exposes patients to ionizing radiation. MR imaging is radiation free but previously has not been able to produce diagnostic-quality images of bone on a timeline suitable for clinical use. We developed automated motion correction and use deep learning to generate pseudo-CT images from MR images. We aim to evaluate whether motion-corrected pseudo-CT produces cranial images that have potential to be acceptable for clinical use.
