Diffusion-Encoding Gaussian Field for Joint k-q dMRI Reconstruction

The paper introduces a subject‑specific spatial‑angular Gaussian field for self‑supervised joint k‑q diffusion MRI reconstruction. It uses shared 3D Gaussian primitives that provide local spatial support while each primitive carries a continuous q‑conditioned tensor‑residual response, allowing the signal at each location to be synthesized from overlapping primitive responses. Experiments on three HCP diffusion shells with various acceleration settings show consistent improvements in missing‑direction DWI reconstruction, tensor‑derived metrics, and principal diffusion orientation estimation.

MIGA:Shared-Geometry Gaussian Representation with Implicit Amplitude Modeling for Accelerated 3D Multi-Echo MRI

MIGA is a scan‑specific framework for accelerated 3D multi‑echo MRI that uses shared anisotropic Gaussian geometry, a coordinate‑conditioned multi‑output amplitude network, and explicit echo‑specific phase variables. The method jointly optimizes all components from undersampled multi‑coil k‑space data without requiring fully sampled training data. Experiments demonstrate that MIGA outperforms existing methods across various imaging tasks and acceleration factors, especially under stronger undersampling, and offers a favorable quality‑cost balance among full‑volume multi‑echo reconstruction techniques.

Consistency Models for Fast MRI Reconstruction Using Regularization by Denoising

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.

GraphSVR: q-Space--Aware Graph-Based Slice-to-Volume Registration for Diffusion MRI

GraphSVR is a q‑space‑aware graph‑based framework for 4D slice‑to‑volume registration in diffusion MRI. It models slice groups as nodes in a graph whose edges encode temporal, spatial, and diffusion‑encoding relationships, and uses a graph neural network to predict globally consistent stack‑wise rigid motion in a self‑supervised, zero‑shot manner. In synthetic and realistic simulations, GraphSVR reduces grid and rotation errors by up to 73% compared to the standard FSL eddy method, especially under severe motion and sparse‑direction regimes.
