SynthRCT framework generates synthetic 4DCT images for proton therapy robustness

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed SynthRCT, a novel framework for generating synthetic 4D computed tomography (4DCT) images, which are crucial for evaluating the robustness of proton therapy treatment plans. This conditional generative model, based on a conditional variational autoencoder, learns to synthesize realistic anatomical deformations. SynthRCT can generate these transformations at scale, enabling more comprehensive patient-specific variability analysis beyond simplified scenarios. AI

IMPACT Enables more robust AI-driven treatment planning in medical imaging by providing realistic synthetic data.

    SynthRCT: Scalable Conditional Deformation Synthesis for Synthetic Repeat CT Generation

    arXiv:2609.08627v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In proton therapy, plans are typically optimized on a single planning CT, making robustness evaluation essential under anatomical changes. However, current scenarios often rely on simplified perturbations that poorly capture compl…
