| Abstract | To propose a hybrid multiatlas fusion and correction approach to estimate a pseudo-computed tomography (pCT) image from T2-weighted brain magnetic resonance (MR) images in the context of MRI-only radiotherapy.
A set of eleven pairs of T2-weighted MR and CT brain images was included. Using leave-one-out cross-validation, atlas MR images were registered to the target MRI with multimetric, multiresolution deformable registration. The subsequent deformations were applied to the atlas CT images, producing uncorrected pCT images. Afterward, a three-dimensional hybrid CT number correction technique was used. This technique uses information about MR intensity, spatial location, and tissue label from segmented MR images with the fuzzy c-means algorithm and combines them in a weighted fashion to correct Hounsfield unit values of the uncorrected pCT images. The corrected pCT images were then fused into a final pCT image.
The proposed hybrid approach proved to be performant in correcting Hounsfield unit values in terms of qualitative and quantitative measures. Average correlation was 0.92 and 0.91 for the proposed approach by taking the mean and the median, respectively, compared with 0.86 for the uncorrected unfused version. Average values of dice similarity coefficient for bone were 0.68 and 0.72 for the fused corrected pCT images by taking the mean and the median, respectively, compared with 0.65 for the uncorrected unfused version indicating a significant bone estimation improvement.
A hybrid fusion and correction method is presented to estimate a pCT image from T2-weighted brain MR images. |
