•
The method of
generating s-CT images
using UTE MRI
sequences together with Gaussian regression models is
very
fast and accurate
.
•
The results from the treatment planning study demonstrate
that it produces
dose calculation results
that are almost
identical to treatment plans generated on bulk density
images, a method considered accurate in the literature.
•
In contrast to manual bulk density assignments, the
s-CT
method is automatic
, adding only about six minutes
extra imaging time and one minute for calculations.
