The paper introduces MR‑DiffuSR, a 3‑D latent diffusion framework that uses high‑resolution T1w structural priors to guide super‑resolution of thick‑slice FLAIR MRI scans. By applying cross‑modality structural swin attention and a mixed‑scale degradation strategy, the method avoids hallucinations and remains robust across varying slice thicknesses. On ADNI datasets, MR‑DiffuSR outperforms CNN and 2‑D diffusion baselines, achieving high PSNR, SSIM, and low LPIPS, and maintains strong white‑matter hyperintensity segmentation performance even at 7 mm equivalent slice thickness.

The paper introduces a transfer‑learning framework that pre‑trains an implicit neural representation (INR) on a high‑resolution diffusion MRI template and then adapts it to individual subjects through registration and fine‑tuning. This approach enables native single‑subject super‑resolution, achieving a 4× through‑plane up‑sampling from 5 mm to 1.25 mm on Human Connectome Project data. Compared to a recent baseline, the method reduces NRMSE by 36–49 % and increases FSIM by 24–43 %, while training 6× faster and outperforming other INR‑based techniques on both image quality and domain‑specific metrics.

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.
The paper introduces a subject‑specific spatial‑angular Gaussian field for self‑supervised joint k‑q diffusion MRI reconstruction. It uses shared 3D Gaussian primitives that provide local spatial support while each primitive carries a continuous q‑conditioned tensor‑residual response, allowing the signal at each location to be synthesized from overlapping primitive responses. Experiments on three HCP diffusion shells with various acceleration settings show consistent improvements in missing‑direction DWI reconstruction, tensor‑derived metrics, and principal diffusion orientation estimation.

The paper introduces DB‑SUiT, a surface‑based diffusion bridge that translates cortical MRI to PET images directly on the cortical manifold. It employs a conditional spherical U‑shaped vision Transformer to capture multi‑scale surface features and long‑range dependencies while incorporating demographic and subcortical information. Evaluations on two dementia datasets show that the synthesized PET surfaces outperform MRI and PET volumes in automated classification and achieve high diagnostic accuracy in a blinded reader study.

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.
