Evaluation and comparison of synthetic computed tomography algorithms with 3T MRI for prostate radiotherapy: AI‐based versus bulk density method
In conclusion, sCT-algorithms were clinically usable on prostate treatments using 3T MR-only workflow. While AI-sCT showed better correspondence to TPCT than BM-sCT, it generated characteristic artifacts. As sCT algorithms perform well, we still recommend testing the sCT-algorithms with retrospective analyses from patient data prior to implementing sCT into the routine workflow to better understand the specific limitations and capabilities of these algorithms.
