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.
Graph-based cardiac segmentation with implicit anatomical correspondences provides topological guarantees and population-level analysis capabilities, but models trained on independent frames of image sequences exhibit temporal discontinuities that affect reliable clinical measurements, particularly in cardiac ultrasound. In this work, we introduce self-supervised temporal regularization as a post-training refinement stage that exploits the temporal coherence in image sequences to enforce consistent cardiac segmentation and motion estimation over time, without requiring per-frame annotations.

Standardized echocardiography conclusions provide meaningful supervision for learning ECG representations of echocardiography-derived cardiac findings. Global ECG--text alignment may entangle modality-specific factors, while long-tailed finding distributions provide sparse positive supervision for low-prevalence conditions.
