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.

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.

SV-Cine: Diagnosis-Conditioned Segmentation of Single Ventricle Physiology via Generative Data Augmentation

The paper introduces SV-Cine, a cardiac MRI segmentation framework tailored for single ventricle physiology (SVP). It combines a generative data augmentation pipeline that creates synthetic 3D cardiac meshes and MRI, with a diagnosis-conditioned adaptation of the CineMA foundation model that uses patient-level diagnostic information to improve segmentation. Evaluations on an internal cohort show high Dice scores for left and right ventricles, outperforming nnU-Net, and demonstrate that incorporating diagnosis priors can adapt a pretrained model to specialized SVP tasks.

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.
