A Physics-Conditioned Neural Operator for Generalization of Atrioventricular Valve Mechanics across Pressure and Tissue Properties

The paper presents a Physics‑Conditioned Neural Operator (PCNO), a transformer‑based model that predicts mitral and tricuspid valve leaflet displacement, strain, and stress fields conditioned on systolic blood pressure and tissue properties. Trained on FEBio finite‑element simulations, PCNO achieves a displacement error of 4.48 % and maintains mean errors of unsupervised geometric measures within 3.5 % even when pressure and material parameters lie outside the training set, demonstrating a conditioned solution operator rather than simple interpolation. Compared to graph neural network baselines, PCNO shows superior accuracy, particularly in stress predictions.

Reconstruction of 4D Mitral Regurgitation Hemodynamics from Sparse Planar Data using Deep Operator Networks with Test-Time Adaptation

The paper presents a Deep Operator Network that reconstructs full‑field 4D mitral regurgitation hemodynamics from sparse planar velocity data and boundary pressure traces. The network is pretrained on a URANS database of eleven orifice phantoms and then fine‑tuned on new cases, achieving rapid predictions in minutes. While the adaptation improves flow topology in the observed plane, reconstruction error increases sharply with distance from that plane, limiting physical consistency in the surrounding volume.

Anatomy-Informed Neural Networks: Encoding Anatomic Priors in Loss and Architecture, with an SE(3) Formulation of Guidewire-Induced Aortoiliac Deformation

The paper introduces Anatomy-Informed Neural Networks (AINN), which embed soft and hard anatomical priors into the loss function and network architecture to prevent anatomically impossible predictions. AINN is applied to a clinical scenario of aortoiliac deformation caused by a guidewire, modeling vessel and wire dynamics in SE(3) and training with a Wasserstein-2 loss from 2D angiograms. The study verifies the kinematics and loss against ground truth but does not yet train a network, outlining future work to apply the model to real CT data.

Physics-Informed Hemodynamic Modeling for Data-Free Prediction and Sparse-Data Assimilation

The paper introduces a physics-informed deep learning framework that reconstructs 3D coronary geometry from dual-view angiography and predicts velocity and pressure fields using a decoupled network with embedded physical priors. Across 32 patients and four flow conditions, the model achieved a trans‑stenotic pressure‑drop error of 2.02% and velocity/pressure relative‑L2 errors of 0.054 and 0.023, respectively, while matching hospital‑measured FFR with 93.8% diagnostic accuracy. The pipeline completes the full angiography‑to‑hemodynamics conversion in about 20 minutes per patient and supports sparse‑data assimilation for revascularization planning.

Wall Shear Stress Reconstruction from Concentration: Differentiable Physics and Physics-Informed Neural Networks

arXiv:2606. 06313v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Wall shear stress (WSS) governs near-wall transport dynamics and is a key hemodynamic indicator in cardiovascular flows, yet remains difficult to infer accurately due to the need for precise computation of near-wall velocity gradients.
