Simultaneous PET/MR is now being adapted for clinical studies. Earlier methods of PET/MR-AC have considered all bones as a single entity irrespective of their density. In this work, we demonstrate using ZTE and Dixon LAVA-Flex MRI data, and deep learning framework, a continuous density pseudo-CT (pCT) image which combines soft tissue pCT (from Dixon LAVA-Flex) with a continuous density bone pCT from ZTE.
