The paper introduces MR‑DiffuSR, a 3‑D latent diffusion framework that uses high‑resolution T1w structural priors to guide super‑resolution of thick‑slice FLAIR MRI scans. By applying cross‑modality structural swin attention and a mixed‑scale degradation strategy, the method avoids hallucinations and remains robust across varying slice thicknesses. On ADNI datasets, MR‑DiffuSR outperforms CNN and 2‑D diffusion baselines, achieving high PSNR, SSIM, and low LPIPS, and maintains strong white‑matter hyperintensity segmentation performance even at 7 mm equivalent slice thickness.

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.

FiberGeoText (FGT) is a vision‑language model that clusters short‑range superficial white matter streamlines from ultra‑high‑resolution diffusion MRI into population‑level groups. It jointly encodes each streamline’s 3‑D trajectory, cortical anatomical context (via text from multiple parcellation schemes), and shape, using a pretrained large language model to unify heterogeneous anatomical descriptions. Evaluations on 0.76 mm diffusion data show that FGT outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods in cortical parcel coherence, shape consistency, cluster‑size consistency, and cross‑subject correspondence, and it generalizes well to unseen subjects, recovering 96.7 % of learned clusters.

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.

The paper introduces a transfer‑learning framework that pre‑trains an implicit neural representation (INR) on a high‑resolution diffusion MRI template and then adapts it to individual subjects through registration and fine‑tuning. This approach enables native single‑subject super‑resolution, achieving a 4× through‑plane up‑sampling from 5 mm to 1.25 mm on Human Connectome Project data. Compared to a recent baseline, the method reduces NRMSE by 36–49 % and increases FSIM by 24–43 %, while training 6× faster and outperforming other INR‑based techniques on both image quality and domain‑specific metrics.

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.

The paper introduces a 3D residual wavelet diffusion model for super‑resolving ultra low‑field MRI scans. By using a lossless wavelet reparameterisation, residual shifting, and domain randomisation, the method fits whole‑brain data on a single GPU, speeds up sampling, and generalises across scanners. It achieves volumetric accuracy comparable to leading regression approaches while producing per‑voxel uncertainty maps that reveal under‑determined regions and preserves disease‑relevant atrophy in cognitively impaired subjects.
