Radiotherapy Costs May Be Reduced by Using a Synthetic CT from an MRI

The lack of electron density maps, which are required for the calculation of dose distributions, is one of MRI's intrinsic limitations, despite the fact that it has shown to be a valuable tool for radiation oncology treatment of intracranial malignancies. Additionally, the majority of current clinical procedures for patient positioning, which depend on lining up Cone Beam CT scans with treatment planning CT images, are not supported. To overcome these restrictions, several synthetic CT methods have been created. As it saves time and money, the use of DL sCT generation from MRI for radiation is becoming more and more common. This method relies on TFE algorithms, which transmit high-resolution information from MRI to sCT. SCT creation is made simple and incorporated into the clinical workflow by the new edition of the MRI planner. Additionally, it improves the standard of radiation-safety data generated by DL sCT. The technique makes use of a weighted intensity profile that runs fro
