Parameter-Efficient pretrained-CT-to-MRI Transfer for Rectal Cancer Segmentation: Performance-Calibration Trade-offs

The paper introduces SWIFT, a Swin V2‑based model pretrained on 10,444 3D CT volumes and fine‑tuned for rectal cancer segmentation on T2‑weighted MRI. Four configurations—full fine‑tuning (SWIFT), decoder compression (SWIFTe), low‑rank adaptation (SWIFTe‑LoRA), and a LoRA‑decoder ensemble (SWIFTe‑LDE4)—were evaluated on 247 cases, showing that SWIFTe reduces parameters by 70.1% while improving tumor detection and radiomic agreement. The study also demonstrates a trade‑off between detection and boundary agreement, and highlights that SWIFTe‑LDE4 achieves the lowest calibration errors after temperature scaling.

When Misalignment Becomes Supervision: Structured Label Noise in Supervised Synthetic CT Generation

The paper examines how residual misalignments from registration procedures introduce structured label noise in supervised synthetic CT (sCT) generation. It shows that voxel‑wise metrics are heavily influenced by the consistency between training and evaluation registrations, and that training with anatomically consistent registrations reduces variability and improves robustness. Introducing a perceptual loss based on a pretrained Segment Anything encoder yields sharper, more anatomically coherent sCT and highlights the need for anatomy‑oriented evaluation.
