To improve synthetic CT (sCT) generation from cone-beam CT (CBCT) in radiotherapy, we propose a multiscale segmentation-guided diffusion framework. The proposed model integrates anatomical priors across multiple spatial resolutions through a segmentation mask pyramid and introduces a scale-specific loss function to guide learning at each level. When evaluated on the SynthRAD2023 brain dataset, our model achieves a mean absolute error (MAE) of 61.82 HU, a peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) of 32.05 dB, and a structural similarity index (SSIM) of 0.90, outperforming baseline models. These results suggest that multiscale anatomical guidance can improve the fidelity and anatomical consistency of sCT images, thus facilitating high-quality CBCT-to-CT translation in radiotherapy applications.
