FLAT: FLow-Aligned Training of Unrolled Networks for MRI Reconstruction

FLAT: FLow-Aligned Training of Unrolled Networks for MRI Reconstruction proposes a new training method for unrolled neural networks used in MRI reconstruction. By interpreting unrolled networks as discretizations of conditional probability flows, the authors derive cascade parameters from Flow Matching and align intermediate reconstructions with the ideal Flow Matching trajectory. Experiments on three MRI datasets demonstrate that FLAT stabilizes the reconstruction trajectory across sub-networks and improves the final reconstruction quality.

PRIME-SVR: Physics-infoRmed Implicit Multi-Echo Slice-to-Volume Reconstruction for Fetal T2 mapping

arXiv:2607. 20136v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Slice-to-volume reconstruction (SVR) is the standard method for obtaining high-resolution (HR) 3D fetal brain volumes from motion-corrupted 2D MRI slice stacks acquired in multiple orientations.

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.

Tissue-Mixture Entropy-Weighted Reconstruction for Partial-Volume-Aware Brain MRI Super-Resolution

The paper introduces AGW-PBR, a brain MRI super‑resolution method that emphasizes tissue‑transition regions affected by the partial‑volume effect. It uses a low‑resolution backbone guided by Sobel edges, soft latent‑basis assignment, and grid‑anchored warping, while training‑time weights are derived from tissue‑mixture entropy computed from registered T1/T2/PD images. Experiments on IXI T2‑weighted scans at 2×, 4×, and 6× show improved full‑image reconstruction and regional fidelity, and the backbone also performs well on fastMRI data without PVE supervision.
