arXiv:2607. 20136v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Slice-to-volume reconstruction (SVR) is the standard method for obtaining high-resolution (HR) 3D fetal brain volumes from motion-corrupted 2D MRI slice stacks acquired in multiple orientations.
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.
arXiv:2601. 13236v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Parallel imaging techniques reduce magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan time but image quality degrades as the acceleration factor increases.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) super-resolution is vital for improving diagnostic accessibility, yet most methods treat it as a deterministic mapping from a fixed low-resolution input to a high-resolution target. This overlooks a key property of MRI acquisition physics: spatial resolution and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are inherently coupled, making any given low-resolution scan merely one of many possible realizations under varying acquisition trade-offs.
arXiv:2605. 00941v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Flow matching provides a highly effective framework for generative modeling, yet estimating the uncertainty of its generated samples remains a fundamental challenge.
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.
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 Recursive Uncertainty-Gated Image Registration (RUGI), an iterative refinement method that updates deformation fields predicted by learning-based registration models using a gating map. Two gating strategies are explored: an uncertainty-based approach and an image residual error approach, both concentrating updates on difficult regions. Experiments on cardiac MRI and echocardiography datasets show that RUGI consistently improves registration accuracy, with the error-gated variant reducing MSE by 27‑37% on pretrained models and lowering ejection fraction estimation errors.
