Abstract

PURPOSE: The first aim was to generate and compare synthetic-CT (sCT) images using a conditional generative adversarial network (cGAN) method (Pix2Pix) for MRI-only prostate radiotherapy planning by testing several generators, loss functions, and hyper-parameters. The second aim was to compare the optimized Pix2Pix model with five other architectures (bulk-density, atlas-based, patch-based, U-Net, and GAN).
