  • Publication number: 20230334664
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for image generation. The methods may include obtaining a first medical image and a second medical image of a target subject. The first medical image may be generated based on first scan data collected using a first imaging modality, and the second medical image may be generated based on second scan data collected using a second imaging modality. The methods may include generating a pseudo-second medical image by transforming the first medical image. The pseudo-second medical image may be a simulated image corresponding to the second imaging modality. The methods may further include determining registration information between the first medical image and the second medical image based on the second medical image and the pseudo-second medical image.
