Abstract
Purpose Methods have been recently developed to generate pseudo–computed tomography (pCT) for dose calculation in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)–only radiation therapy. This study aimed to propose an original nonlocal mean patch-based method (PBM) and to compare this PBM to an atlas-based method (ABM) and to a bulk density method (BDM) for prostate MRI-only radiation therapy. Materials and Methods Thirty-nine patients received a volumetric...
