Multimodal pseudo-CT synthesis for PET attenuation correction using separate modality encoding and topogram conditioning

We participated in the BIC-MAC Challenge with a multimodal 3D patch-based U-Net for pseudo-CT generation from NAC-PET, MRI, and 2D topograms. By using separate PET and MR encoders, multi-scale feature fusion, and FiLM-based topogram conditioning at the bottleneck, we obtain a model that integrates complementary cross-modal information while reducing reliance on precise voxel-wise correspondence between modalities.
