An MRI sequence independent convolutional neural network for synthetic head CT generation in proton therapy

A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequence independent deep learning technique was developed and validated to generate synthetic computed tomography (sCT) scans for MR guided proton therapy. 47 meningioma patients previously undergoing proton therapy based on pencil beam scanning were divided into...
