Abstract:BackgroundPET/CT and planning CT are commonly used medical images in radiotherapy for esophageal and nasopharyngeal cancer. However, repeated scans will expose patients to additional radiation doses and also introduce registration errors. This multimodal treatment approach is expected to be further improved.PurposeA new Transformer model is proposed to obtain pseudo‐PET/CT fusion images for esophageal and nasopharyngeal cancer radiotherapy.MethodsThe data of 129 cases of esophageal cancer and 141 cases of naso… Show more
