CMRVision: A Foundation Model for Cardiac MR Image Analysis

CMRVision is a cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) foundation model trained with DINOv3-style self‑supervised learning on 36 million multi‑center, multi‑sequence CMR images. It outperforms prior natural‑image, medical‑image, supervised, and CMR baselines on multi‑task segmentation (cine, LGE, mapping) and cine view classification, achieving Dice scores of 0.940–0.967 for LV and 0.855–0.905 for myocardium, and a zero‑shot Dice of 0.692 on unseen LGE long‑axis views. The model demonstrates robust cross‑view generalization and highest average accuracy (0.906) for cine view classification.

Transformer-Guided Graph Attention for Direct Cardiac Mesh Reconstruction: A Structural Digital Twin Framework

arXiv:2606. 13188v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Building patient-specific cardiac models sits at the heart of precision cardiology, yet getting those models into clinical use keeps running into the same wall: mesh generation is slow, messy, and frustrating.

HTC-SGA Former: A Hybrid Transformer-CNN Network with Self-Guided Attention and a New Boundary-Weighted Adaptive Loss for Coronary DSA Vessel Segmentation

Accurate coronary Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) vessel segmentation is essential for computer-aided diagnosis and treatment planning of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, thin low-contrast vessels, background interference, and severe vessel-background class imbalance make reliable segmentation of weak distal branches and vessel boundaries challenging.

Anatomy-Change-Aware Bidirectional Selective State-Space Memory for Clinically Deployed Thoracic Radiotherapy Auto-Contouring

The paper introduces DAMM‑Net++, a 2.5D neural network for thoracic organ‑at‑risk and target volume segmentation that tackles inter‑slice surface incoherence, small low‑contrast target failure, and lack of per‑case reliability signals. Its core is an anatomy‑change‑aware bidirectional selective state‑space memory that propagates context across axial slices, complemented by a boundary‑aware decoder and an uncertainty head for calibrated per‑voxel confidence. Evaluations on 2,146 patients, an external cohort, and a reader study show high Dice scores (0.955), low HD95 (3.78 mm), significant time savings (75‑80 %) for clinicians, and improved junior‑reader performance, with the system fully integrated into a clinical workflow.
