Abstract
Methods and systems for synthesizing contrast images from a quantitative acquisition are disclosed. An exemplary method includes performing a quantification scan, using a trained deep neural network to synthesize a contrast image from the quantification scan, and outputting the contrast image synthesized by the trained deep neural network. In another exemplary method, an operator can identify a target contrast type for the synthesized contrast image. A trained discriminator and classifier module determines whether the synthesized contrast image is of realistic image quality and whether the synthesized contrast image matches the target contrast type.
