Researchers have developed a new 3D architecture called Parallel Swin Transformer-Enhanced Med2Transformer to improve the synthesis of CT images from MRI data for radiotherapy planning. This model integrates convolutional encoding with dual Swin Transformer branches to better capture both local anatomical details and long-range contextual dependencies, utilizing multi-scale shifted window attention and hierarchical feature aggregation. Experiments on public and clinical datasets showed that the proposed method achieves higher image similarity and geometric accuracy compared to existing methods, with a clinically acceptable mean target dose error of 1.69%.
