Abstract

Synthetic CT is estimated for planning or other purposes from surface data (e.g., depth camera information). The estimation uses parameterization, such as landmark and/or segmentation information, in addition to the surface data. In training and/or application, the parameterization may be used to correct the predicted CT volume. The CT volume may be predicted as a sub-part of the patient, such as estimating the CT volume for scanning one system, organ, or type of tissue separately from other system, organ, or type of tissue.
