SRUG: A Fusion-Driven Generator Network for Medical Image Translation

SRUG is a supervised, fusion‑driven generator network designed for paired MRI sequence synthesis. It eliminates the generator‑discriminator competition by directly learning a deterministic source‑to‑target mapping, using a residual encoder, full‑resolution stem, and a nested multi‑scale decoder to preserve structural fidelity. Experiments on BraTS 2023 and IXI demonstrate competitive reconstruction quality and cross‑dataset transferability, supporting direct supervised generation as a practical approach for medical image translation.

Prob-BBDM: a Probabilistic Brownian Bridge Diffusion Model for MRI sequence image-to-image translation

AI-driven image-to-image synthesis is rapidly advancing, with growing applications in medical imaging. Multi-modal image analysis plays a crucial role in optimizing examination quality, yet acquiring multiple imaging modalities in clinical settings remains resource-intensive and time-consuming, especially for 3D imaging.

Consistency Models for Fast MRI Reconstruction Using Regularization by Denoising

The paper introduces CM-RED, a fast MRI reconstruction method that combines a pretrained consistency model with the regularization by denoising framework. By integrating controlled noise injection into accelerated proximal gradient updates, CM-RED achieves high‑quality reconstructions on fastMRI knee and brain datasets with only four network function evaluations. It consistently outperforms existing diffusion‑ and consistency‑based approaches in quantitative metrics, visual fidelity, and robustness to hyperparameter changes.

Lesion-DDPM: Lesion-Enhanced 3D Diffusion for MS MRI Synthesis

arXiv:2606. 15457v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: 3D FLAIR MRI is widely recommended as one of the standard MRI sequences for brain imaging in multiple sclerosis (MS), but publicly available MS datasets remain relatively small and vary across scanners, acquisition protocols, and lesion patterns.

Multimodal synthesis of MRI and tabular data with diffusion in a joint latent space via cross-attention

The paper introduces a multimodal latent diffusion model that jointly synthesizes volumetric MRI scans and tabular clinical data within a shared latent space using cross‑attention. By fusing the modalities through a variational autoencoder before diffusion, the model reconstructs MRI and tabular data with separate decoders, producing anatomically plausible images that align with synthesized clinical attributes. Evaluation on the German National Cohort dataset shows high‑fidelity image generation and superior tabular performance compared to CTGAN, marking the first demonstration of joint MRI‑tabular modeling in a single diffusion framework.
