PRIME-SVR: Physics-infoRmed Implicit Multi-Echo Slice-to-Volume Reconstruction for Fetal T2 mapping

arXiv:2607. 20136v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Slice-to-volume reconstruction (SVR) is the standard method for obtaining high-resolution (HR) 3D fetal brain volumes from motion-corrupted 2D MRI slice stacks acquired in multiple orientations.

Anatomy-Aligned Surface Field Learning for Myocardial Reconstruction from Sparse Short-Axis Cine MRI

The paper presents an anatomy‑aligned surface learning framework for reconstructing patient‑specific 4D myocardial surfaces from sparsely sampled short‑axis cine MRI. By parameterizing epicardial and endocardial surfaces on a shared circumferential‑longitudinal UV domain, the method transforms irregular 3D reconstruction into structured coordinate‑field completion, enabling explicit correspondence across subjects and cardiac phases. Experiments on three public datasets show the approach outperforms mesh‑based and implicit methods, achieving Chamfer distances around 2.6–2.9 mm and preserving ventricular function with small errors in volume and ejection fraction.

Anatomy-Informed Neural Networks: Encoding Anatomic Priors in Loss and Architecture, with an SE(3) Formulation of Guidewire-Induced Aortoiliac Deformation

The paper introduces Anatomy-Informed Neural Networks (AINN), which embed soft and hard anatomical priors into the loss function and network architecture to prevent anatomically impossible predictions. AINN is applied to a clinical scenario of aortoiliac deformation caused by a guidewire, modeling vessel and wire dynamics in SE(3) and training with a Wasserstein-2 loss from 2D angiograms. The study verifies the kinematics and loss against ground truth but does not yet train a network, outlining future work to apply the model to real CT data.

Physics-Informed Hemodynamic Modeling for Data-Free Prediction and Sparse-Data Assimilation

The paper introduces a physics-informed deep learning framework that reconstructs 3D coronary geometry from dual-view angiography and predicts velocity and pressure fields using a decoupled network with embedded physical priors. Across 32 patients and four flow conditions, the model achieved a trans‑stenotic pressure‑drop error of 2.02% and velocity/pressure relative‑L2 errors of 0.054 and 0.023, respectively, while matching hospital‑measured FFR with 93.8% diagnostic accuracy. The pipeline completes the full angiography‑to‑hemodynamics conversion in about 20 minutes per patient and supports sparse‑data assimilation for revascularization planning.

Reconstruction of 4D Mitral Regurgitation Hemodynamics from Sparse Planar Data using Deep Operator Networks with Test-Time Adaptation

The paper presents a Deep Operator Network that reconstructs full‑field 4D mitral regurgitation hemodynamics from sparse planar velocity data and boundary pressure traces. The network is pretrained on a URANS database of eleven orifice phantoms and then fine‑tuned on new cases, achieving rapid predictions in minutes. While the adaptation improves flow topology in the observed plane, reconstruction error increases sharply with distance from that plane, limiting physical consistency in the surrounding volume.
