ContiLNN is a medical image restoration method that augments 2‑D backbones with bidirectional closed‑form continuous‑time (Bi‑CfC) modules for cross‑slice modeling, allowing slice‑index intervals to modulate gates based on local features and hidden states. The approach preserves anatomical variation through reference‑guided consistency and retains in‑plane fidelity via distillation from a frozen backbone. Across CT denoising, MRI super‑resolution, and PET restoration tasks, ContiLNN outperforms Restore‑RWKV and Bi‑GRU in PSNR, RMSE, latency, and GPU memory usage, while demonstrating data efficiency and backbone compatibility.
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.

FlowMoDL is an unrolled neural network designed for highly accelerated 4D flow MRI reconstruction, optimizing both anatomical magnitude and phase-derived velocity accuracy. It alternates a learned (3+1)D spatiotemporal denoiser with conjugate‑gradient data‑consistency updates, using a dual‑pathway conditioning scheme to handle acceleration factors from 10× to 50×. Trained with a deep‑supervision composite loss that penalizes velocity magnitude and angular errors, FlowMoDL outperforms classical and deep‑learning baselines on the multi‑center CMRx4DFlow dataset, achieving superior gradient‑step efficiency and robust convergence across all acceleration factors.

arXiv:2606. 09953v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Head computed tomography (CT) typically uses sub-millimeter in-plane resolution but 2-5 mm through-plane spacing, creating substantial anisotropy that degrades multiplanar reconstructions, volumetric measurements such as hematoma volume estimation, and downstream algorithms that assume near-isotropic voxels.

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.

arXiv:2602. 21987v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Low-dose CT images are essential for reducing radiation exposure in cancer screening, pediatric imaging, and longitudinal monitoring protocols, but their quality is often degraded by noise from low-dose acquisition, patient motion, or scanner limitations, affecting both clinical interpretation and downstream analysis.

SRUG is a supervised, fusion‑driven generator network designed for paired MRI sequence synthesis. It eliminates the generator‑discriminator competition by directly learning a deterministic source‑to‑target mapping, using a residual encoder, full‑resolution stem, and a nested multi‑scale decoder to preserve structural fidelity. Experiments on BraTS 2023 and IXI demonstrate competitive reconstruction quality and cross‑dataset transferability, supporting direct supervised generation as a practical approach for medical image translation.

arXiv:2505. 17338v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Photorealistic volumetric rendering of CT scans greatly benefits clinical workflows, yet neural approaches such as Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) and 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) require prohibitive per-scan optimization (hours for NeRF, about 30 minutes for 3DGS), making them impractical in clinical settings.
