Two-Parameter Flow Map Learning for Continuous-Time Diffeomorphic Image Registration

The paper introduces a new framework for learning continuous-time diffeomorphic image registration by modeling a non-autonomous ODE as a two-parameter flow map. By enforcing cocycle consistency, the method learns flow maps without time discretization or velocity integration during training, enabling efficient inference with few compositions. Experiments on nine datasets show consistent alignment improvements, including a 2.1% Dice gain on brain MRI, 12% TRE reduction on lung CT, and 2.6% Dice improvement on cardiac MRI and ultrasound.

Anatomy-Aligned Surface Field Learning for Myocardial Reconstruction from Sparse Short-Axis Cine MRI

The paper presents an anatomy‑aligned surface learning framework for reconstructing patient‑specific 4D myocardial surfaces from sparsely sampled short‑axis cine MRI. By parameterizing epicardial and endocardial surfaces on a shared circumferential‑longitudinal UV domain, the method transforms irregular 3D reconstruction into structured coordinate‑field completion, enabling explicit correspondence across subjects and cardiac phases. Experiments on three public datasets show the approach outperforms mesh‑based and implicit methods, achieving Chamfer distances around 2.6–2.9 mm and preserving ventricular function with small errors in volume and ejection fraction.
