L-TGVN: Leveraging Longitudinal Priors for Personalized Rapid MRI

arXiv:2606. 04419v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: MRI provides excellent soft-tissue contrast without ionizing radiation, but long acquisition times increase patient discomfort while also raising exam costs and limiting scanner throughput.

GenDiff: A Dose and Anatomy Aware Diffusion Model with Structural Prior Refinement for Low-Dose CT Reconstruction and Generalization

arXiv:2607. 11941v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Computed tomography (CT) is a critical imaging modality for clinical diagnosis, but reducing radiation dose inevitably introduces severe noise and structured artifacts that degrade image quality.

Dense Temporal Contrast Synthesis via Conditioned Latent Transport

arXiv:2607. 29394v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) is essential for breast cancer management, but reliance on gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) restricts use in contraindicated populations, prolongs scan protocols, and presents environmental toxicity concerns.

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.

Data-Efficient Networks for Multi-Contrast MRI Reconstruction based on a Generalized Content/Style Prior

The paper introduces CoSMo-RecNet, a modular framework for multi-contrast MRI reconstruction that operates effectively in low-data regimes. It leverages a reusable content/style prior learned from large, unpaired multi-contrast image datasets, allowing a lightweight unrolled network to refine reconstructions using only a few task‑specific training samples. Experiments on low‑field 0.3 T and ultra‑low‑field 47 mT datasets demonstrate that CoSMo-RecNet outperforms parameter‑matched MoDL, classical reconstruction, transfer learning, and zero‑shot methods, achieving higher quality with as few as five training subjects.

LUCID: Learned Undersampling-Adaptive Consistency-Guided Inference with Deterministic Flow Matching for Sparse-View CT Reconstruction

arXiv:2606. 16212v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sparse-view CT reduces radiation dose and scanning time by acquiring fewer projection views, but angular undersampling makes reconstruction severely ill-posed, causing streak artifacts, structural blurring, and loss of fine details.
