Abstract

Systems, computer-implemented methods, and computer readable media for generating a synthetic image of an anatomical portion based on an origin image of the anatomical portion acquired by an imaging device using a first imaging modality are disclosed. These systems may be configured to receive the origin image of the anatomical portion acquired by the imaging device using the first imaging modality, receive a convolutional neural network model trained for predicting the synthetic image based on the origin image, and convert the origin image to the synthetic image through the convolutional neural network model. The synthetic image may resemble an imaging of the anatomical portion using a second imaging modality differing from the first imaging modality.
