arXiv:2607. 22351v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The speed of sound in tissue is a prerequisite for well-focused imaging and has diagnostic value, but recovering it from raw pulse-echo channel data is fundamentally a nonlinear inverse problem.

MIGA is a scan‑specific framework for accelerated 3D multi‑echo MRI that uses shared anisotropic Gaussian geometry, a coordinate‑conditioned multi‑output amplitude network, and explicit echo‑specific phase variables. The method jointly optimizes all components from undersampled multi‑coil k‑space data without requiring fully sampled training data. Experiments demonstrate that MIGA outperforms existing methods across various imaging tasks and acceleration factors, especially under stronger undersampling, and offers a favorable quality‑cost balance among full‑volume multi‑echo reconstruction techniques.

The paper introduces a physics‑guided, data‑driven framework for reconstructing dense ultrasound RF data from sparse acquisitions. It trains an end‑to‑end interpolation network with a hybrid RF‑ and beamforming‑domain loss, stabilized by exponential moving average, and employs random‑skip masking to generalize across varying sparsity patterns and channel configurations. On a held‑out test set, the method achieves a mean SSIM of about 0.95 across decimation factors from ×2 to ×13, consistently improving RF reconstruction and post‑beamforming image quality.

Three-dimensional multi-echo MRI provides rich anatomical and quantitative information, but repeated volumetric encoding prolongs acquisition and motivates k-space undersampling. Reconstructing unders...

The paper introduces Segment Anything Small (SAS), a data‑augmentation method that improves deep‑learning segmentation of small anatomical structures in ultrasound images. SAS uses two transformations: resizing and embedding organ thumbnails into a black background to vary organ scale, and adding noise to regions of interest to mimic tissue texture variability. Experiments on one internal and five external datasets show Dice score gains up to 0.35, with an average improvement of 0.16, and demonstrate that SAS enhances model robustness and generalizability without adding hallucinations or artifacts.

arXiv:2608. 03430v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Four-dimensional cone beam CT (4D CBCT) is important for image-guided radiation therapy of thoracic cancers, but its use is limited by long scan times, causing high patient dose and motion/sparse-sampling artifacts.
