Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates two synthetic computed tomography (sCT) algorithms—bulk-density-method (BM) and artificial intelligence (AI)—for generating CT images from MRI data in prostate radiotherapy.
- It involved 44 patients who underwent both MRI and treatment planning CT (TPCT), with the sCT images analyzed for their accuracy in dose coverage and alignment accuracy compared to TPCT.
- Results indicated that while AI-sCT had slightly better dose coverage and alignment accuracy, both methods performed similarly in clinical relevance, with differences in dose coverage and gamma-analysis passing rates being insignificant overall.
