New L0-norm CycleGAN enhances brain CT-to-MR image synthesis

Researchers have developed a novel L0-norm-based cycle-consistent adversarial network (CycleGAN) to improve the synthesis of brain Magnetic Resonance (MR) images from Computed Tomography (CT) scans. This new approach modifies the cycle-consistency penalty, shifting focus from large residuals to small ones, thereby enhancing reconstruction accuracy. Evaluations on a dataset of 102 images demonstrated a 20.7% reduction in mean squared error and improvements in peak signal-to-noise ratio and structural similarity index compared to a standard L1-norm baseline.

    L0-Norm-Based CycleGAN for Unpaired Brain CT-to-MR Synthesis

    arXiv:2610.32491v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging provide complementary information for the brain, but acquiring both modalities is not always possible. The cycle-consistent adversarial network (CycleGAN) enables unpaired…
