arXiv:2606. 19651v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) brain MRI is central to clinical neurology and neuro-oncology, where generative models could augment under-represented cohorts, simulate disease trajectories, and support privacy-preserving data sharing.
arXiv:2607. 11962v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Self-supervised learning offers a compelling approach for medical imaging, where labeled data are scarce and acquisition costs are high.
arXiv:2605. 23995v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Self-supervised learning (SSL) is increasingly used in medical image analysis to reduce dependence on costly expert annotations by learning transferable representations from unlabeled data.
arXiv:2606. 15457v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: 3D FLAIR MRI is widely recommended as one of the standard MRI sequences for brain imaging in multiple sclerosis (MS), but publicly available MS datasets remain relatively small and vary across scanners, acquisition protocols, and lesion patterns.
SRUG is a supervised, fusion‑driven generator network designed for paired MRI sequence synthesis. It eliminates the generator‑discriminator competition by directly learning a deterministic source‑to‑target mapping, using a residual encoder, full‑resolution stem, and a nested multi‑scale decoder to preserve structural fidelity. Experiments on BraTS 2023 and IXI demonstrate competitive reconstruction quality and cross‑dataset transferability, supporting direct supervised generation as a practical approach for medical image translation.

The paper introduces TAP-JEPA, a joint‑embedding predictive architecture trained on over 113,000 CT volumes, which achieves performance comparable to leading encoders in scan‑level classification. It demonstrates a predictability bias: while anatomy is largely predictable from context, pathology is not, leading to significant degradation in pathology detection when predictions are applied. The study audits the model’s predictive pathway, showing that pathology representations shift toward control regions and that removing pathology tokens minimally affects downstream decisions, underscoring that contextual predictability alone is insufficient for clinical relevance.
arXiv:2604. 27277v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Brain MRI underpins a wide range of neuroscientific and clinical applications, yet most learning-based methods remain task-specific and require substantial labeled data.
This study examined whether augmenting brain tumor MRI datasets with class‑specific DCGAN‑generated images improves classification performance. Using 7,200 scans across four tumor categories, a Swin Transformer classifier trained on real images alone achieved 96% accuracy, identical to the model trained with 500 synthetic images per class. Metrics such as macro F1 and ROC‑AUC showed no improvement, and FID scores indicated substantial distributional differences between real and synthetic images.
