  • Accurate synthesis of computed tomography (CT) images from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is clinically valuable for cranial applications such as attenuation correction, radiotherapy planning, and image-guided interventions. However, heterogeneity across MRI field strengths and acquisition protocols limits the generalizability of existing methods. In this study, we formulate cranial CT synthesis as a modular, structurally coupled problem and propose a deep learning framework to improve robustness across heterogeneous MRI conditions. The model is designed to adapt to variations in field strength and imaging protocols while preserving anatomical consistency. Experiments on multi-site datasets demonstrate improved performance and generalization compared with conventional approaches. The proposed method enables reliable CT synthesis across heterogeneous MRI settings, supporting broader clinical translation.
