Efficient 3D Whole-Body PET Image Denoising via Conditional Rectified Flow With Optimized Sampling Strategy

The paper introduces a one‑pass conditional 3D rectified flow (3D Flow) framework for denoising whole‑body PET images, employing an optimized non‑uniform sampling strategy and a linear‑interpolant velocity‑matching objective. It reconstructs a full 3D volume in about 30 seconds, dramatically faster than multi‑hour 3D diffusion models, while maintaining high global image quality and lesion conspicuity even at ultra‑low doses (down to 1/100 of standard). Zero‑shot transfer tests on independent clinical data demonstrate robust performance across datasets and unseen dose levels.

GenDiff: A Dose and Anatomy Aware Diffusion Model with Structural Prior Refinement for Low-Dose CT Reconstruction and Generalization

arXiv:2607. 11941v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Computed tomography (CT) is a critical imaging modality for clinical diagnosis, but reducing radiation dose inevitably introduces severe noise and structured artifacts that degrade image quality.

Heterogeneity-Adaptive Diffusion Schrodinger Bridge for PET-Guided Whole-Body MRI Translation

arXiv:2607. 07401v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While whole-body multimodal medical imaging scanners have been increasingly recognized for more effective medical applications, the excessive long acquisition time in PET-MR scanning is a major obstacle in more efficient clinical practice.
