Table 3 Mean error (ME) and mean absolute error (MAE) in the CT numbers of each site: lung, soft tissue, bone regions, and whole image

From: A cycle generative adversarial network for improving the quality of four-dimensional cone-beam computed tomography images

  1. These values were calculated with respect to the CT numbers in the 4D-MSCT images and are shown in terms of mean ± standard deviation for 10 patients in each site. The p value was obtained by a comparison of the results of the 4D-CBCT and sCT images using a two-tailed t test
