Dual-domain U-Nets with embedded back projection operators for motion-resolved 4D CBCT reconstruction

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.

CONFLUX: A Latent Diusion Model for 3D Chest-CT Synthesis with RL Post-Training

arXiv:2607. 02998v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Controllable generative models of 3D medical images can synthesize volumes with specified clinical attributes, but this demands samples that are simultaneously high-fidelity, natively 3D, and faithful to the requested conditioning.

When is 3D Worth It? A Resource-Performance Frontier for CNNs and Transformers in Lung CT

arXiv:2606. 06950v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Three-dimensional models are widely assumed preferable for volumetric medical imaging, yet their practical value depends on whether performance gains justify added computational cost and complexity.

Resolution Meets Reduction: Efficient Visual Context for 3D Radiology Report Generation

arXiv:2608. 08713v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models offer a promising path toward automating radiology report generation, but applying them to full 3D CT volumes poses substantial computational challenges.

Render-FM: Feedforward Model for Real-time Photorealistic Volumetric Rendering

arXiv:2505. 17338v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Photorealistic volumetric rendering of CT scans greatly benefits clinical workflows, yet neural approaches such as Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) and 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) require prohibitive per-scan optimization (hours for NeRF, about 30 minutes for 3DGS), making them impractical in clinical settings.

Deep Slice Interpolation for Reducing Through-Plane Anisotropy and Noise in Head CT

arXiv:2606. 09953v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Head computed tomography (CT) typically uses sub-millimeter in-plane resolution but 2-5 mm through-plane spacing, creating substantial anisotropy that degrades multiplanar reconstructions, volumetric measurements such as hematoma volume estimation, and downstream algorithms that assume near-isotropic voxels.

Sparse-View Lung Nodule Volumetry from Digitally Reconstructed Radiographs via AReT: Anatomy-Regularized TensoRF

arXiv:2606. 02639v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We identify and resolve a previously unreported failure mode in TensoRF when applied to X-ray attenuation fields: the default density shift of -10, originally introduced for RGB scene reconstruction, suppresses density gradients and prevents sparse-view medical reconstruction regardless of learning rate or regularization strategy.
