Generating CT volumes from MRI and CBCT can improve treatment planning in adaptive radiotherapy while avoiding additional radiation exposure. However, direct regression of CT intensities is challenged by the inherently high dynamic range and long-tailed distributions, thereby averaging out sparse yet clinically important structures.

The paper introduces a one‑pass conditional 3D rectified flow (3D Flow) framework for denoising whole‑body PET images, employing an optimized non‑uniform sampling strategy and a linear‑interpolant velocity‑matching objective. It reconstructs a full 3D volume in about 30 seconds, dramatically faster than multi‑hour 3D diffusion models, while maintaining high global image quality and lesion conspicuity even at ultra‑low doses (down to 1/100 of standard). Zero‑shot transfer tests on independent clinical data demonstrate robust performance across datasets and unseen dose levels.

arXiv:2608. 08135v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cross-modality medical image translation can reduce the burden of multi-modal acquisitions, yet the field remains constrained by two coupled limitations: methods operate on 2D slices or 3D patches rather than whole volumes, and train a separate model for each translation task.

The paper presents a multimodal 3D patch-based U‑Net for generating pseudo‑CT images from non‑attenuation‑corrected PET (NAC‑PET), MRI, and 2D topograms. It employs separate PET and MR encoders, multi‑scale feature fusion, and FiLM‑based topogram conditioning at the bottleneck to integrate complementary cross‑modal information while reducing dependence on precise voxel‑wise correspondence. The authors participated in the BIC‑MAC Challenge and released their final model on GitHub.

The paper introduces LowBridge, a method for cross‑modal medical image segmentation that leverages shared low‑level features such as edges between MRI and CT scans. It trains a generative model to reconstruct source‑modality images from edge maps and then trains a segmentation network on these generated images. At test time, edge features from target‑modality images are fed into the generative model to produce source‑style images, which are segmented by the pretrained network, achieving state‑of‑the‑art results on multiple public datasets.
