• Abstract: Magnetic Resonance (MR) Imaging and Computed Tomography (CT) are the primary diagnostic imaging modalities quite frequently used for surgical planning and analysis. A general problem with medical imaging is that the acquisition process is quite expensive and time-consuming. Deep learning techniques like generative adversarial networks (GANs) can help us to leverage the possibility of an image to image translation between multiple imaging modalities, which in turn helps in saving time and cost. These techniques will help to conduct surgical planning under CT with the feedback of MRI information. While previous studies have shown paired and unpaired image synthesis from MR to CT, image synthesis from CT to MR still remains a challenge, since it involves the addition of extra tissue information. In this manuscript, we have implemented two different variations of Generative Adversarial Networks exploiting the cycling consistency and structural similarity between both CT and MR image modalities on a pelvis dataset, thus facilitating a bidirectional exchange of content and style between these image modalities. The proposed GANs translate the input medical images by different mechanisms, and hence generated images not only appears realistic but also performs well across various comparison metrics, and these images have also been cross verified with a radiologist. The radiologist verification has shown that slight variations in generated MR and CT images may not be exactly the same as their true counterpart but it can be used for medical purposes.

  We analyse the capabilities of different configurations of Deep Learning models to generate synthetic CT scans from MRI.

  Deep Learning (DL) models have achieved state-of-the-art performance in diagnosing multiple diseases using reconstructed images as input. DL models are sensitive to varying artifacts as it leads to changes in the input data distribution between the training and testing phases. We propose to use other normalization techniques, such as Group Normalization and Layer Normalization, to inject robustness into model performance against varying image artifacts.
