Enhanced Real-Time 6-DOF Extended Reality Catheter Tracking for Evaluating Potential Improvement in Efficiency, Precision, and Depth Perception for Cardiac Interventions

arXiv:2608. 07606v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Despite advances in 3D ultrasound, most percutaneous cardiac interventions still rely on 2D visualization, limiting depth perception and spatial understanding.

Echo-POSED: Geometric Self-Distillation for Echocardiography Guidance

arXiv:2606. 02634v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce Echo-POSED, a self-supervised framework for real-time transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) guidance that recommends probe adjustments directly from 2D ultrasound images, without the need for expert-labelled views or tracked probe trajectories.

Transformer-Guided Graph Attention for Direct Cardiac Mesh Reconstruction: A Structural Digital Twin Framework

arXiv:2606. 13188v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Building patient-specific cardiac models sits at the heart of precision cardiology, yet getting those models into clinical use keeps running into the same wall: mesh generation is slow, messy, and frustrating.

Dual-domain U-Nets with embedded back projection operators for motion-resolved 4D CBCT reconstruction

arXiv:2608. 03430v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Four-dimensional cone beam CT (4D CBCT) is important for image-guided radiation therapy of thoracic cancers, but its use is limited by long scan times, causing high patient dose and motion/sparse-sampling artifacts.

Render-FM: Feedforward Model for Real-time Photorealistic Volumetric Rendering

arXiv:2505. 17338v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Photorealistic volumetric rendering of CT scans greatly benefits clinical workflows, yet neural approaches such as Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) and 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) require prohibitive per-scan optimization (hours for NeRF, about 30 minutes for 3DGS), making them impractical in clinical settings.

Marker-free deformable registration and fusion for augmented reality-guided positive margin localization during tumor resection surgery

Positive margins in head and neck oncologic surgery require mapping specimen-side pathology findings to the patient resection bed. This is challenging because pathologists identify the positive margin on slices of the resected, deformed specimen, while surgeons must relocate the corresponding site on the resection bed using only verbal descriptions and no visual guidance.

Sparse Concept Channels in Frozen 3D CT Vision Encoders

arXiv:2607. 20993v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large vision-language models are becoming increasingly dominant in 3D medical image interpretation, but we rarely know which internal units encode clinical findings or where that information lives in the representation.

Vis2Reg: Visibility-Aware Landmark-Free Geometric 3D--2D Registration for Liver Laparoscopy

arXiv:2607. 17810v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate 3D--2D liver registration, which aligns preoperative 3D models to partial, view-dependent intraoperative surface observations, is critical for AR-guided laparoscopic surgery but remains challenging due to severe occlusion, limited visibility, and the lack of 3D ground-truth supervision.
