Generation of brain pseudo‐CTs using an undersampled, single‐acquisition UTE‐mDixon pulse sequence and unsupervised clustering

Purpose: MR‐based pseudo‐CT has an important role in MR‐based radiation therapy planning and PET attenuation correction. The purpose of this study is to establish a clinically feasible approach, including image acquisition, correction, and CT formation, for pseudo‐CT generation of the brain using a...
