Attention-guided super-resolution of 4D flow MRI in carotid arteries

The paper presents a deep learning super‑resolution framework for 4D flow MRI of carotid arteries, using convolutional block attention modules to focus on clinically relevant spatial features and reduce noise. Trained on 120 patients with 240 stenosed carotid arteries, the model leverages patient‑specific CFD simulations as high‑resolution ground truth. Results show a significant reduction in RMSE and improved reconstruction of complex flow patterns compared to a baseline without attention.

Multimodal synthesis of MRI and tabular data with diffusion in a joint latent space via cross-attention

The paper introduces a multimodal latent diffusion model that jointly synthesizes volumetric MRI scans and tabular clinical data within a shared latent space using cross‑attention. By fusing the modalities through a variational autoencoder before diffusion, the model reconstructs MRI and tabular data with separate decoders, producing anatomically plausible images that align with synthesized clinical attributes. Evaluation on the German National Cohort dataset shows high‑fidelity image generation and superior tabular performance compared to CTGAN, marking the first demonstration of joint MRI‑tabular modeling in a single diffusion framework.
