Abstract
A method and apparatus for medical image synthesis across image modalities or domains is disclosed, which synthesizes a target medical image based on a source medical image. A plurality of image patches are cropped from the source medical image. A synthesized target medical image is then generated from the source medical image by jointly performing sparse coding between each image patch of the source medical image and a corresponding image patch of the synthesized target image based on jointly trained source and target dictionaries.
