A Fast and Generic Energy-Shifting Transformer for Hybrid Monte Carlo Radiotherapy Calculation

arXiv:2604.09157v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce a novel learning framework for accelerated Monte Carlo (MC) dose calculation termed Energy-Shifting. This approach leverages deep learning to synthesize highly complex polyenergetic dose distributions directly from simple monoenergetic inputs under identical beam configurations. Unlike conventional denoising techniques, which rely on noisy low-count dose maps that compromise beam profile integrity, our method achieves superior cross-domain generalization on unseen datasets by integrating high-fidelity anatomical textures an
