中文摘要:
      目的 比较不同神经网络由磁共振成像(MRI)图像生成伪CT图像的本领,探讨伪CT用于临床放疗计划的可行性。方法 选取29例同时具有计划CT和诊断MRI的脑癌患者,23例用于训练,6例用于测试。分别采用循环生成对抗网络(cycleGAN)、对比学习非配对图像转换网络(CUT)以及本研究提出的改进网络denseCUT由MRI生成伪CT,并将伪CT导入治疗计划系统中验证其用于放疗计划的可行性。结果 CycleGAN、CUT和denseCUT生成的伪CT与真实CT之间的平均绝对误差分别为(72.0±6.9)、(72.5±8.0)和(64.6±7.3) HU,结构相似性分别为0.91±0.01、0.91±0.01和0.93±0.01,峰值信噪比分别为(28.5±0.7)、(28.5±0.7)和(29.5±0.7) dB,放疗计划剂量计算γ通过率(2%/2 mm)分别为98.05%、97.92%、98.31%。结论 denseCUT能更准确地生成伪CT,伪CT能满足调强放疗计划剂量计算的需求。
英文摘要:
      Objective To compare the abilities of different neural networks to generate pseudo-computed tomography (CT) images from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images and to explore the feasibility of pseudo-CT for clinical radiotherapy planning. Methods A total of 29 brain cancer patients with planning CT and diagnostic MRI were selected. 23 of these patients were used for training neural networks and 6 for testing pseudo-CT images. Cycle-consistent generative adversarial network (cycleGAN), contrastive learning for unpaired image-to-image translation (CUT), and improved network denseCUT proposed in this study were applied to generate pseudo-CT images from MRI images. The pseudo-CT images were imported into a clinical treatment planning system to verify the feasibility of applying this method to radiotherapy planning. Results The comparison between the generated pseudo-CT images and real CT images showed that the mean absolute errors were (72.0±6.9),(72.5±8.0), and (64.6±7.3) HU for the cycleGAN, CUT, and denseCUT, respectively. Meanwhile, the structure similarity indices were 0.91±0.01, 0.91±0.01, and 0.93±0.01, respectively. The peak signal-to-noise ratios were (28.5±0.7), (28.5±0.7), and (29.5±0.7) dB, respectively. The 2%/2 mm γ passing rates were 98.05%, 97.92%, and 98.31% for the cycleGAN, CUT, and denseCUT, respectively. Conclusions DenseCUT can generate more accurate pseudo-CT images and the pseudo-CT can meet the demand for the dose calculation of IMRT plan.
