In this work, we propose to use a hybrid atlas and
regression-based method to generate synthetic CT images
from MRI for MRI based radiation therapy planning for
prostate cancer treatment. Compared to a pure
regression-based method, an additional UTE sequence is
not required to segment the bone, and in comparison to a
pure atlas-based method, we use regression-based soft
tissue modeling, producing better soft tissue
estimation. The proposed hybrid approach achieves a 0.6%
dose difference compared to the use of original CT in
the dose plan.
