Methods and systems for translating magnetic resonance images to pseudo computed tomography images

A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, comprising:

• an MRI scanner;
• a display device;
• a controller unit communicatively coupled to the MM scanner and the display device;
• and
• a memory storing executable instructions that when executed cause the controller unit to:
• acquire, via the MM scanner, a magnetic resonance (MR) image;
• generate, with a multi-task neural network, a pseudo CT image corresponding to the MR image;
• and
• output, to the display device, the MR image and the pseudo CT image.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to:

• acquire a magnetic resonance (MR) image;
• generate, with a multi-task neural network, a pseudo CT image corresponding to the MR image;
• and
• output, to a display device, the MR image and the pseudo CT image.
