CONFLUX: A Latent Diusion Model for 3D Chest-CT Synthesis with RL Post-Training

arXiv:2607. 02998v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Controllable generative models of 3D medical images can synthesize volumes with specified clinical attributes, but this demands samples that are simultaneously high-fidelity, natively 3D, and faithful to the requested conditioning.

WING: A Window-Prior-Based Generative Network with Gated Inception for Cross-Modality CT Synthesis

Generating CT volumes from MRI and CBCT can improve treatment planning in adaptive radiotherapy while avoiding additional radiation exposure. However, direct regression of CT intensities is challenged by the inherently high dynamic range and long-tailed distributions, thereby averaging out sparse yet clinically important structures.

Physics-Guided Flow Matching for CT Image Reconstruction

The paper introduces a high‑resolution Rectified Flow Matching model trained on 256×256 chest CT images to serve as a generative prior for CT reconstruction. A two‑stage training strategy—initial strong anatomically informed augmentation followed by fine‑tuning—helps mitigate overfitting and improve structural fidelity. When evaluated on various CT inverse problems, Flow Matching‑based reconstruction methods outperform diffusion‑based algorithms in PSNR, SSIM, and perceptual quality while requiring fewer sampling steps.

DALE-CT: Depth-Aware 2D Slice Encoders Learn an Anatomical World Model of Chest CT

DALE-CT introduces depth‑aware 2D slice encoders that learn an anatomical world model of chest CT scans without 3D or positional supervision. By sampling self‑supervised views across a physical $z$‑axis slab, the encoder captures how anatomy changes between neighboring slices, enabling it to recover slice ordering and distinguish slices by anatomy alone. The model, trained on a large 287k‑scan corpus, achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on CT‑RATE and is released with full code and evaluation tools.

Compositional Cross-Modality Translation via Whole-Volume Multitask Latent Flow Matching

arXiv:2608. 08135v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cross-modality medical image translation can reduce the burden of multi-modal acquisitions, yet the field remains constrained by two coupled limitations: methods operate on 2D slices or 3D patches rather than whole volumes, and train a separate model for each translation task.

nnFoundation: 3D Foundation Models for Radiology

nnFoundation introduces complementary convolutional and transformer-based 3D foundation models for radiology, trained on 2.1 million CT, MRI, and PET volumes from 125 datasets. The models are evaluated on 108 tasks—including segmentation, detection, classification, report generation, and image retrieval—under domain shift, low-data, and low-compute scenarios, consistently outperforming prior 3D foundation models and training from scratch. Performance varies by task type, with convolutional models excelling at spatially localized tasks and transformer models at global semantic reasoning, and dynamic alignment with dataset characteristics further enhances transferability.
