X‑LMC is a spatiotemporal deep‑learning framework that automatically scores leptomeningeal collateral (LMC) status from time‑resolved biplane digital subtraction angiography (DSA). It uses a DINOv2 backbone to encode spatial frames, a token‑level cross‑view attention module to fuse orthogonal projections, and a recurrent network to model contrast bolus dynamics. On a multicenter dataset of 134 M1‑segment occlusion patients, X‑LMC achieved a Quadratic Weighted Kappa of 0.398 and a macro‑F1 of 0.711, outperforming static and other spatiotemporal baselines and matching clinical inter‑rater agreement.
Match4Annotate is a test‑time framework that transfers user‑specified annotations from a labeled ultrasound video to an unlabeled target video without requiring manual initialization. It uses a spatiotemporal implicit feature representation, a continuous implicit feature flow for alignment, and flow‑guided annotation transfer to unify sparse point and dense mask transfer. The method achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on four clinical ultrasound datasets, outperforming dense feature‑matching baselines and one‑shot segmentation methods, and works without task‑specific training on a single consumer GPU.

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.

Echo-E$^3$Net is an anatomy‑guided spatio‑temporal neural network designed to estimate left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) from ultrasound images. It uses a dual‑phase Endocardial Border Detector to locate end‑diastole and end‑systole landmarks and an Endocardial Feature Aggregator to fuse these landmarks with global deep‑feature descriptors for EF regression. The model achieves competitive accuracy on EchoNet‑Dynamic and EchoNet‑Pediatric datasets while using only 1.55 M parameters and 8.05 GFLOPs, enabling real‑time deployment on limited‑resource devices.

VeCAS is a two‑stage framework that generates contrast‑free X‑ray angiograms from non‑contrast images. Stage I localizes vascular structures using a discriminative model and cross‑modality latent distillation, while Stage II synthesizes angiographic appearance within those regions with a vessel‑focused inpainting model. Experiments on a lower‑limb vascular intervention dataset show that VeCAS improves vascular structural fidelity and image quality, and robotic guidewire navigation tests demonstrate significant reductions in time to target and operation steps.
