AGGR-Mamba is a lightweight output‑stage refinement network for undersampled brain MRI reconstruction that builds on a Mamba backbone. The method first generates an initial reconstruction and then applies an Attention Refine Head to recalibrate local anatomical structures, edge textures, and residual‑error regions, followed by a gated residual refinement branch that selectively preserves informative residual features while suppressing redundant responses. Experiments on the IXI brain MRI dataset with T1‑ and T2‑weighted images at acceleration factors R=4 and R=8 show that AGGR‑Mamba achieves competitive PSNR and SSIM performance across different reconstruction settings.

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.

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.

CAPS is a Clinically‑Verifiable Anatomy‑Prioritized Synthesis framework designed to impute missing MRI modalities for brain tumor segmentation. It uses a hybrid loss (L₁ + L_AFP + L_DualDice) to preserve deep anatomical features and topological boundaries, achieving high synthesis fidelity and robust segmentation (82.38% mean Dice) on the BraTS Adult Glioma dataset. The method also generalizes well to unseen cohorts and has been validated by blinded radiologists, who report improved image quality and clinical utility.

The study introduces ART‑Net, an anatomy‑aware residual attention network designed to refine four‑fold accelerated SENSE brain MRI. In a prospective paired study of 80 participants, ART‑Net achieved the highest peak signal‑to‑noise ratio and structural similarity index among evaluated methods, and it preserved anatomical fidelity with superior Dice coefficients for medial temporal and whole‑brain structures. Radiologist assessments also indicated improved gradient fidelity, regional contrast, and overall structural quality.

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.
