Self-Supervised Cardiac Phase Detection via Single-Parameter Latent Orbits

The paper introduces a self‑supervised method for detecting end‑diastole (ED) and end‑systole (ES) in echocardiography by constraining the latent motion to a single‑parameter orbit, effectively modeling cardiac phase as a one‑dimensional signal. This approach yields an interpretable representation that directly identifies ED and ES, improving ED localisation and matching ES performance compared to prior state‑of‑the‑art methods, while using fewer training epochs and a more constrained model. The method is trained on EchoNet‑Dynamic without annotations and the code is publicly available.

A Latent ODE Approach to Spatiotemporal Modeling of Cine Cardiac MRI

arXiv:2606. 26718v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) captures rich spatiotemporal information about ventricular structure and motion, but conventional risk models use only a few image-derived indices from selected cardiac phases.

Cylindrical Geodesic Flow Matching for Quasiperiodic Physiological Signal Transformation

The paper introduces cylindrical geodesic flow matching, a method for translating quasiperiodic cardiovascular waveforms between different body locations. By replacing the standard affine path in flow matching with a closed‑form geodesic on a phase–amplitude cylinder, the approach preserves amplitude and instantaneous frequency during interpolation. Experiments on photoplethysmography and seismocardiography data show that this geometry‑aware method outperforms interpolation baselines and matches or exceeds supervised models, reducing error metrics by up to ~15%.

Orientation-Robust Latent Motion Trajectory Learning for Annotation-free Cardiac Phase Detection in Fetal Echocardiography

The paper introduces ORBIT, a self‑supervised method for detecting end‑diastolic and end‑systolic cardiac phases in fetal echocardiography without manual annotations. ORBIT learns a latent motion trajectory through registration, enabling orientation‑robust identification of phase transitions across diverse fetal heart positions. Evaluated on normal and congenital heart disease cases, it achieves low mean absolute errors (≈1.9–2.4 frames) and outperforms prior annotation‑free approaches that assume fixed orientations.
