Abstract

For topogram predication from surface data, a sensor captures the outside surface of a patient. A generative adversarial network (GAN) generates the topogram representing an interior organ based on the outside surface of the patient. To further adapt to specific patients, internal landmarks are used in the topogram prediction. The topogram generated by one generator of the GAN may be altered based on landmarks generated by another generator.
