Cross modal image syntheses is gaining significant interests for its ability to estimate target images of a different modality from a given set of source images, like estimating MR to MR, MR to CT, CT to PET etc, without the need for an actual acquisition. Though they show potential for applications in radiation therapy planning, image super resolution, atlas construction, image segmentation etc. The synthesis results are not as accurate as the actual acquisition. In this paper, we address the problem of multi modal image synthesis by proposing a fully convolutional deep learning architecture called the SynNet. We extend the proposed architecture for various input output configurations.
