Abstract: Medical images play an important role in clinical diagnosis and treatment. During the radiotherapy, CT can be available for the location and definition of the target volume. The medical images from multiple modalities are used to obtain the information on pathological body from many angles. However, obtaining multiple-modality medical images could be more resource-consuming, and difficult to guarantee the consistency of patients′ state. Medical image translation between multiple modalities can achieve the predication from one modality to another. The studies on medical images from multiple modalities such as CT, ultrasound, MRI and PET are reviewed in detail in this paper, , with discussions provided about characteristics of multiple modalities and challenges faced, as well as the research areas to be developed.
