Developing robust artificial intelligence models for 4D (3D + time) medical imaging is constrained by limited annotated data, inter-device domain shifts, and privacy restrictions. To address this, we propose a 4D controllable generative framework for anatomically consistent data augmentation.

AI-driven image-to-image synthesis is rapidly advancing, with growing applications in medical imaging. Multi-modal image analysis plays a crucial role in optimizing examination quality, yet acquiring multiple imaging modalities in clinical settings remains resource-intensive and time-consuming, especially for 3D imaging.
CMRVision is a cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) foundation model trained with DINOv3-style self‑supervised learning on 36 million multi‑center, multi‑sequence CMR images. It outperforms prior natural‑image, medical‑image, supervised, and CMR baselines on multi‑task segmentation (cine, LGE, mapping) and cine view classification, achieving Dice scores of 0.940–0.967 for LV and 0.855–0.905 for myocardium, and a zero‑shot Dice of 0.692 on unseen LGE long‑axis views. The model demonstrates robust cross‑view generalization and highest average accuracy (0.906) for cine view classification.

The paper presents a method for generating cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images conditioned on patient metadata using a pretrained latent diffusion model. By encoding structured clinical data and slice position as textual prompts and applying Metadata‑Free Classifier‑Free Guidance, Contrastive Batching, and Inverse‑Frequency Sampling, the authors improve the fidelity of synthetic images, achieving a 57% reduction in Fréchet Inception Distance compared to a baseline without these strategies. Evaluation on 59,058 UK Biobank CMR scans shows better distributional realism and subgroup alignment, though disease‑specific conditioning remains challenging.

The paper introduces CM-RED, a fast MRI reconstruction method that combines a pretrained consistency model with the regularization by denoising framework. By integrating controlled noise injection into accelerated proximal gradient updates, CM-RED achieves high‑quality reconstructions on fastMRI knee and brain datasets with only four network function evaluations. It consistently outperforms existing diffusion‑ and consistency‑based approaches in quantitative metrics, visual fidelity, and robustness to hyperparameter changes.
