Congenital heart disease (CHD) diagnosis and surgical planning often require patient-specific 3D anatomical models, but manual segmentation is labor-intensive, particularly in complex anatomies. Altho...

The paper introduces SV-Cine, a cardiac MRI segmentation framework tailored for single ventricle physiology (SVP). It combines a generative data augmentation pipeline that creates synthetic 3D cardiac meshes and MRI, with a diagnosis-conditioned adaptation of the CineMA foundation model that uses patient-level diagnostic information to improve segmentation. Evaluations on an internal cohort show high Dice scores for left and right ventricles, outperforming nnU-Net, and demonstrate that incorporating diagnosis priors can adapt a pretrained model to specialized SVP tasks.

arXiv:2606. 15837v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep neural networks (DNNs) frequently fail to generalize to out-of-distribution (OOD) medical images because of variations in scanners and acquisition protocols.
