Abstract

Two principal areas of application for estimated computed tomography (CT) images are dose calculations in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based radiotherapy treatment planning and attenuation correction for positron emission tomography (PET)/MRI. The main purpose of this work is to investigate the performance of hidden Markov (chain) models (HMMs) in comparison to hidden Markov random field (HMRF) models when predicting CT images of head. Obtained results suggest that HMMs deserve a further study for investigating their potential in modeling applications, where the most natural theoretical choice would be the class of HMRF models.
