To develop high-quality synthetic CT (sCT) generation method from low-dose cone-beam (CBCT) images by using attention-guided generative adversarial networks (AGGAN) and apply these to dose calculations in radiotherapy. The CBCT/planning of 170 patients undergoing thoracic radiotherapy were used for training testing. CBCT scanned under a fast protocol with 50% less clinical projection frames compared standard chest M20 protocol. Training aligned paired was performed conditional (so-called...
