Early studies show MRI-based synthetic CT provides radiation-free bone imaging, suggesting wider clinical use.

To explore MRI-based synthetic CT as a safe alternative to conventional CT for bone imaging.
Compared MRI-based techniques with conventional CT across various anatomical sites.
Utilized zero echo time and 3D gradient recalled echo sequences.
Implemented deep learning algorithms to create synthetic CT images.
High agreement between MRI-based techniques and conventional CT was observed.
Deep learning-synthetic CT shows strong potential to produce accurate CT-like images.
Promising for use in pediatrics and surgical planning, with cost-reduction benefits.

Stewart et al. (2026) studied this question.
