Abstract
A medical imaging system comprising: a memory and a processor configured by machine executable instructions that cause the processor to: receive multiple magnetic resonance images, the multiple magnetic resonance images comprising voxels; calculate an image segmentation for each of the multiple magnetic resonance images, the image segmentation dividing each of the multiple magnetic resonance images into regions; assign a tissue classification to each of the regions using a magnetic resonance imaging tissue classifier; calculate a Hounsfield unit map for each of the multiple magnetic resonance images by assigning a Hounsfield unit value to each of the voxels according to the tissue classification, the Hounsfield mapping comprising a mapping between the tissue classification to Hounsfield units; and calculate a virtual CT image for each of the multiple magnetic resonance images using the Hounsfield unit mapping.
