Fast and Accurate Monomodal 3D High Resolution Deep Registration of Drosophila Larval Brain Volumes

The paper introduces a deep learning pipeline that rapidly and accurately registers 3D high‑resolution Drosophila larval brain volumes to a shared anatomical reference. Unlike traditional methods that require per‑case optimization and minutes per brain, the trained network performs a single forward pass, handling volumes with many more voxels and maintaining high accuracy even as image quality declines. The authors benchmarked their approach against eleven classical and seven learned baselines, achieving a 23‑percentage‑point improvement in landmark‑based mutual information and registering brains one to two orders of magnitude faster.

Generalizable Brain Tumor Segmentation with Self-Training and Tumor-Aware Deformations

The paper introduces a method for generalizable brain tumor segmentation in the BraTS 2026 Challenge. It builds on the nnU-Net framework with a large residual encoder, adding semi‑supervised learning via pseudo‑labels and a tumor‑aware deformable augmentation that locally deforms lesions while preserving surrounding anatomy. The approach improves Dice and NSD scores across all tumor regions compared to labeled‑only baselines, demonstrating the complementary benefits of self‑training and the proposed augmentation.

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.
