Medical image synthesis is a challenging task due to the scarcity of paired data. Several methods have applied CycleGAN to leverage unpaired data, but they often generate inaccurate mappings that shift the anatomy. This problem is further…

CT is commonly used in orthopedic procedures. MRI is used along with CT to identify muscle structures and diagnose osteonecrosis due to its superior soft tissue contrast. However, MRI has poor contrast for bone structures. Clearly, it would…

Magnetic resonance (MR) and computer tomography (CT) images are two typical types of medical images that provide mutually-complementary information for accurate clinical diagnosis and treatment. However, obtaining both images may be limited…

Recently, the cycle-consistent generative adversarial networks (CycleGAN) has been widely used for synthesis of multi-domain medical images. The domain-specific nonlinear deformations captured by CycleGAN make the synthesized images…

MR-only radiotherapy treatment planning requires accurate MR-to-CT synthesis. Current deep learning methods for MR-to-CT synthesis depend on pairwise aligned MR and CT training images of the same patient. However, misalignment between…

MR imaging will play a very important role in radiotherapy treatment planning for segmentation of tumor volumes and organs. However, the use of MR-based radiotherapy is limited because of the high cost and the increased use of metal…

Research exploring CycleGAN-based synthetic image generation has recently accelerated in the medical community, as it is able to leverage unpaired datasets effectively. However, clinical acceptance of these synthetic images pose a…

In many clinical settings, the use of both Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance (MRI) is necessary to pursue a thorough understanding of the patient's anatomy and to plan a suitable therapeutical strategy; this is often the case…

Objective. A phased or a curvilinear array produces ultrasound (US) images with a sector field of view (FOV), which inherently exhibits spatially-varying image resolution with inferior quality in the far zone and towards the two sides…

Anatomical structures such as blood vessels in contrast-enhanced CT (ceCT) images can be challenging to segment due to the variability in contrast medium diffusion. The combined use of ceCT and contrast-free (CT) CT images can improve the…

Synthetic CT image generation from MRI scan is necessary to create radiotherapy plans without the need of co-registered MRI and CT scans. The chosen baseline adversarial model with cycle consistency permits unpaired image-to-image…

The original publication Unpaired Image-to-Image Translation using Cycle-Consistent Adversarial Networks served as the inspiration for this implementation project. Researchers developed a novel method for doing image-to-image translations…

Brain imaging plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and treatment of various neurological disorders, providing valuable insights into the structure and function of the brain. Techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed…

In the field of radiotherapy, accurate imaging and image registration are of utmost importance for precise treatment planning. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) offers detailed imaging without being invasive and excels in soft-tissue…

Cycle reconstruction regularized adversarial training -- e.g., CycleGAN, DiscoGAN, and DualGAN -- has been widely used for image style transfer with unpaired training data. Several recent works, however, have shown that local distortions…

Image synthesis is used to generate synthetic CTs (sCTs) from on-treatment cone-beam CTs (CBCTs) with a view to improving image quality and enabling accurate dose computation to facilitate a CBCT-based adaptive radiotherapy workflow. As…

Image-to-image translation is a new field in computer vision with multiple potential applications in the medical domain. However, for supervised image translation frameworks, co-registered datasets, paired in a pixel-wise sense, are…

Unpaired image-to-image translation has broad applications in art, design, and scientific simulations. One early breakthrough was CycleGAN that emphasizes one-to-one mappings between two unpaired image domains via generative-adversarial…

In medical image synthesis, model training could be challenging due to the inconsistencies between images of different modalities even with the same patient, typically caused by internal status/tissue changes as different modalities are…

Recently, deep learning approaches have been extensively studied for low-dose CT denoising thanks to its superior performance despite the fast computational time. In particular, cycleGAN has been demonstrated as a powerful unsupervised…
