Lesion-DDPM: Lesion-Enhanced 3D Diffusion for MS MRI Synthesis

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.

Deep Learning Segmentation of Diffusion-Weighted MRI Acute Ischaemic Stroke: A Pragmatic Evaluation Across Three Datasets

The study evaluated a pragmatic deep‑learning approach for segmenting acute ischemic stroke lesions on diffusion‑weighted MRI. Using a self‑configured nnU‑Net trained on 1,744 cases and tested on 436, the baseline model achieved a median Dice similarity coefficient of 0.84, outperforming the DeepISLES ensemble, especially for smaller infarcts. The approach required minimal preprocessing and fast inference, suggesting it could streamline clinical stroke imaging workflows.
