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.

QuantumBoostNet is a hybrid classical‑quantum architecture designed to improve accuracy in identifying cardiac ultrasound views. The model combines a classical backbone with two heads—one classical and a 10‑qubit quantum circuit—using an adaptive mixing parameter to switch between them during training. Experiments show that, even with limited qubits, QuantumBoostNet outperforms state‑of‑the‑art classical and hybrid models on cardiac ultrasound view identification, image classification benchmarks, and demonstrates robustness to noise.

The paper introduces Recursive Uncertainty-Gated Image Registration (RUGI), an iterative refinement method that updates deformation fields predicted by learning-based registration models using a gating map. Two gating strategies are explored: an uncertainty-based approach and an image residual error approach, both concentrating updates on difficult regions. Experiments on cardiac MRI and echocardiography datasets show that RUGI consistently improves registration accuracy, with the error-gated variant reducing MSE by 27‑37% on pretrained models and lowering ejection fraction estimation errors.

The paper introduces a new framework for learning continuous-time diffeomorphic image registration by modeling a non-autonomous ODE as a two-parameter flow map. By enforcing cocycle consistency, the method learns flow maps without time discretization or velocity integration during training, enabling efficient inference with few compositions. Experiments on nine datasets show consistent alignment improvements, including a 2.1% Dice gain on brain MRI, 12% TRE reduction on lung CT, and 2.6% Dice improvement on cardiac MRI and ultrasound.

The paper evaluates hybrid quantum‑classical machine learning for predicting reduced‑order spatiotemporal brain deformation fields. Using Proper Orthogonal Decomposition to compress high‑dimensional displacement data, the authors compare static temporal‑to‑latent regression and autoregressive latent forecasting models. Classical neural networks outperform all quantum variants, though enhanced quantum circuits improve over minimal ones, indicating that classical architectures still hold a clear advantage in fidelity and stability for this task.
