RARF is a task‑agnostic, region‑aware rectified flow framework designed for 3D brain MRI inpainting. It limits stochastic interpolation to the inpainting region while keeping observed voxels fixed, using a 3D neural network that processes a partially voided image, Gaussian noise, a mask, and a timestep. The model is trained with masked flow‑matching and reconstruction‑consistency objectives, and during inference it transports noise toward a plausible reconstruction that preserves anatomical consistency, achieving competitive results on the BraTS Inpainting Challenge 2026.

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.
FLAT: FLow-Aligned Training of Unrolled Networks for MRI Reconstruction proposes a new training method for unrolled neural networks used in MRI reconstruction. By interpreting unrolled networks as discretizations of conditional probability flows, the authors derive cascade parameters from Flow Matching and align intermediate reconstructions with the ideal Flow Matching trajectory. Experiments on three MRI datasets demonstrate that FLAT stabilizes the reconstruction trajectory across sub-networks and improves the final reconstruction quality.
The paper introduces a 3D residual wavelet diffusion model for super‑resolving ultra low‑field MRI scans. By using a lossless wavelet reparameterisation, residual shifting, and domain randomisation, the method fits whole‑brain data on a single GPU, speeds up sampling, and generalises across scanners. It achieves volumetric accuracy comparable to leading regression approaches while producing per‑voxel uncertainty maps that reveal under‑determined regions and preserves disease‑relevant atrophy in cognitively impaired subjects.
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.
The paper introduces a high‑resolution Rectified Flow Matching model trained on 256×256 chest CT images to serve as a generative prior for CT reconstruction. A two‑stage training strategy—initial strong anatomically informed augmentation followed by fine‑tuning—helps mitigate overfitting and improve structural fidelity. When evaluated on various CT inverse problems, Flow Matching‑based reconstruction methods outperform diffusion‑based algorithms in PSNR, SSIM, and perceptual quality while requiring fewer sampling steps.

FlowMoDL is an unrolled neural network designed for highly accelerated 4D flow MRI reconstruction, optimizing both anatomical magnitude and phase-derived velocity accuracy. It alternates a learned (3+1)D spatiotemporal denoiser with conjugate‑gradient data‑consistency updates, using a dual‑pathway conditioning scheme to handle acceleration factors from 10× to 50×. Trained with a deep‑supervision composite loss that penalizes velocity magnitude and angular errors, FlowMoDL outperforms classical and deep‑learning baselines on the multi‑center CMRx4DFlow dataset, achieving superior gradient‑step efficiency and robust convergence across all acceleration factors.
SliceBridge is a new framework for repairing corrupted slice intervals in T1‑weighted MRI by using rectified flow matching conditioned on surrounding intact slices and their relative positions. It enforces through‑plane consistency by coupling slices within the interval through shared noise, flow time, and synchronized sampling, then reinserts the restored interval without altering other slices. In experiments on 9,877 brain MRIs and 581 external subjects, SliceBridge reduced slice‑to‑slice error by 32.9%–41.3% and improved SSIM across interval lengths, while lowering downstream segmentation volume estimation error from 1.95% to 1.05%.
