Synthetic CT is estimated for planning or other purposes from surface data (e.g., depth camera information). The estimation uses parameterization, such as landmark and/or segmentation information, in addition to the surface data. In training and/or application, the parameterization may be used to correct the predicted CT volume. The CT volume may be predicted as a sub-part of the patient, such as estimating the CT volume for scanning one system, organ, or type of tissue separately from other system, organ, or type of tissue.

Synthetic parameterized computed tomography from surface data in medical imaging

A system and method includes operation of a generation network to generate first generated computed tomography data based on a first instance of surface data, determination of a generation loss based on the first generated computed tomography data and on a first instance of computed tomography data which corresponds to the first instance of surface data, operation of a discriminator network to discriminate between the first generated computed tomography data and the first instance of computed tomography data, determination of a discriminator loss based on the discrimination between the first generated computed tomography data and the first instance of computed tomography data, determination of discriminator gradients of the discriminator network based on the discriminator loss, and updating of weights of the generation network based on the generation loss and the discriminator gradients.
