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.

The paper introduces a geometry‑guided sampling operator that directs feature sampling rather than altering convolution kernels in 3D encoder‑decoder networks. By predicting local orientations and bounded step sizes, the operator samples symmetrically around each voxel, generating compact geometric and boundary cues that improve fine‑structure segmentation. Replacing stride‑1 and stride‑2 operations in a 3D U‑Net yields consistent gains on BraTS, MSD Hepatic Vessel, and TDSC‑ABUS datasets, with better boundary metrics and fewer parameters, and the operator can be integrated into other backbones without architectural changes.

The study investigates how few expert-annotated cases are needed to fine‑tune MedSAM3 for abdominal organ segmentation using Low‑Rank Adaptation (LoRA). With only 10 annotated CT or MRI cases, the LoRA‑adapted models achieve performance comparable to specialist systems that require orders of magnitude more data, including reliable gallbladder segmentation and near‑state‑of‑the‑art results for liver, kidneys, and spleen. The approach also generalizes to cardiac segmentation on the Whole Heart dataset, and training takes only 3–5 hours per organ on a single GPU, roughly twice as fast as nnU-Net.

The paper introduces SV-Cine, a cardiac MRI segmentation framework tailored for single ventricle physiology (SVP). It combines a generative data augmentation pipeline that creates synthetic 3D cardiac meshes and MRI, with a diagnosis-conditioned adaptation of the CineMA foundation model that uses patient-level diagnostic information to improve segmentation. Evaluations on an internal cohort show high Dice scores for left and right ventricles, outperforming nnU-Net, and demonstrate that incorporating diagnosis priors can adapt a pretrained model to specialized SVP tasks.

Accurate segmentation of subcortical regions is critical for neurosurgical planning and functional research. Most automated methods rely on template space coregistration, which may compromise patient-specific accuracy, particularly in small structures.
