• Title: WING: A Window-Prior-Based Generative Network with Gated Inception for Cross-Modality CT Synthesis
• Abstract summary: We introduce WING, a WINdow-prior-based Generative network comprising: 1) a new Gated Inception Generator to produce multi-window predictions; 2) a Fuse-and-Refine Transformer to aggregate the windowed outputs and learn residuals for detail refinement; and 3) a joint adversarial training objective to enhance window-conditioned realism.<n>Our compact WING achieves state-of-the-art performance on the MRI-to-CT and CBCT-to-CT benchmarks, while supporting multi-anatomy synthesis with a single model.

• Abstract: Generating CT volumes from MRI and CBCT can improve treatment planning in adaptive radiotherapy while avoiding additional radiation exposure. However, direct regression of CT intensities is challenged by the inherently high dynamic range and long-tailed distributions, thereby averaging out sparse yet clinically important structures. To alleviate this issue, we reformulate the regression target into multiple windowed representations, leveraging the inductive prior that CT intensities are structure-deterministic and window-separable. These windowed views exhibit smoother distributions and admit structured fusion back to the full-range CT. Building on this reformulation, we introduce WING, a WINdow-prior-based Generative network comprising: 1) a new Gated Inception Generator to produce multi-window predictions, enabling multi-shape kernel interactions to capture cross-modality correspondence; 2) a Fuse-and-Refine Transformer to aggregate the windowed outputs and learn residuals for detail refinement; and 3) a joint adversarial training objective to enhance window-conditioned realism. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our compact WING achieves state-of-the-art performance on the MRI-to-CT and CBCT-to-CT benchmarks, while supporting multi-anatomy synthesis with a single model.
