arXiv:2607. 04069v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cardiac cine Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a critical diagnostic tool that provides dynamic insights for radiologists.
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.

FlowMoDL is an unrolled neural network designed for highly accelerated 4D flow MRI reconstruction, optimizing both anatomical magnitude and phase-derived velocity accuracy. It alternates a learned (3+1)D spatiotemporal denoiser with conjugate‑gradient data‑consistency updates, using a dual‑pathway conditioning scheme to handle acceleration factors from 10× to 50×. Trained with a deep‑supervision composite loss that penalizes velocity magnitude and angular errors, FlowMoDL outperforms classical and deep‑learning baselines on the multi‑center CMRx4DFlow dataset, achieving superior gradient‑step efficiency and robust convergence across all acceleration factors.
The paper introduces Shared LoRA, a parameter‑efficient approach for accelerated MRI reconstruction that uses a single set of LoRA adapters and a lightweight gating network to handle multiple acceleration factors. By freezing a pretrained SHFormer backbone and training the adapters on randomly sampled acceleration factors, the method learns reconstruction knowledge across factors. Experiments demonstrate that Shared LoRA achieves competitive PSNR and SSIM while using only about 5.3% of the total model parameters, and it generalizes well to unseen neighboring factors.
