Temporally Consistent and Controllable Video Generation of 2D Cine CMR via Latent Space Motion Modeling

arXiv:2606. 14759v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cine cardiac magnetic resonance is the gold standard for assessing cardiac function, but the scarcity of public datasets limits the development of advanced data-driven models.

Self-Supervised Cardiac Phase Detection via Single-Parameter Latent Orbits

The paper introduces a self‑supervised method for detecting end‑diastole (ED) and end‑systole (ES) in echocardiography by constraining the latent motion to a single‑parameter orbit, effectively modeling cardiac phase as a one‑dimensional signal. This approach yields an interpretable representation that directly identifies ED and ES, improving ED localisation and matching ES performance compared to prior state‑of‑the‑art methods, while using fewer training epochs and a more constrained model. The method is trained on EchoNet‑Dynamic without annotations and the code is publicly available.

A latent ODE approach to full-cycle biventricular cardiac motion modeling from cine MRI

The paper introduces a latent dynamical model that captures full‑cycle biventricular cardiac motion from cine MRI using a heart‑rate‑aware neural ODE and a graph‑based mesh autoencoder. It encodes ventricular anatomy and motion as a continuous latent trajectory, with a covariate‑conditioned prior for the end‑diastolic state and a Cox model linking deviations to incident heart failure. In a large UK Biobank cohort, adding the latent score to existing risk equations improved predictive performance, outperforming several established cardiac markers and alternative modeling approaches.

A Latent ODE Approach to Spatiotemporal Modeling of Cine Cardiac MRI

arXiv:2606. 26718v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) captures rich spatiotemporal information about ventricular structure and motion, but conventional risk models use only a few image-derived indices from selected cardiac phases.
