Bridging Modalities on the Cortex: Surface-based MRI to PET Translation with a Diffusion Bridge

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.

Uncertainty-Aware 3D Residual Wavelet Diffusion for Ultra Low-Field MRI Super-Resolution

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.

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.

PRIME-SVR: Physics-infoRmed Implicit Multi-Echo Slice-to-Volume Reconstruction for Fetal T2 mapping

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.
