SynthRAD2025 challenge shows AI improves synthetic CT for radiotherapy

The SynthRAD2025 challenge report details advancements in generating synthetic computed tomography (sCT) images for radiotherapy planning. This year's challenge focused on converting MRI or cone-beam CT (CBCT) into CT-equivalent images, with methods evaluated on over 2,300 patient cases across different body regions. While deep learning models showed significant improvements, particularly for CBCT-to-CT conversion, challenges remain in MRI-to-CT accuracy, especially for dose-based validation. AI

IMPACT AI-driven synthetic CT generation shows promise for improving radiotherapy planning and reducing patient exposure, though dose-based validation remains a key area for development.

    Generating synthetic computed tomography for radiotherapy: SynthRAD2025 challenge report

    Radiation therapy (RT) requires precise dose delivery over multiple fractions, with CT fundamental for treatment planning due to its electron density information. Repeated CT acquisitions impose radiation exposure and logistical burdens, MRI lacks electron density, and cone-beam …
