Abstract
The literature on generation of synthetic computed tomography (CT) based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or cone-beam CT (CBCT) has been rapidly increasing over the last years [1–4]. Recently, also commercial solutions for synthetic CT generation have been introduced, advancing adaptive radiotherapy workflows [5–11]. The interest in MRI-only workflows with synthetic CTs replacing the planning CT is also growing [12].
