Image similarity evaluation of the bulk-density-assigned synthetic CT derived from MRI of intracranial regions for radiation treatment.

Various methods for radiation-dose calculation have been investigated over previous decades, focusing on the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) only. The bulk-density-assignment method based on manual segmentation has exhibited promising results compared to dose-calculation with computed tomogr...
