Local2Mesh: Spatially Localized Contour-to-Mesh for Left Ventricular Reconstruction from Sparse 2D Cardiac MRI

Read the original on arXiv AI →

Local2Mesh is a spatially localized contour‑to‑mesh framework that reconstructs 3‑D left ventricular geometry from sparse 2‑D cardiac MRI contours without requiring 3‑D mesh annotations. It corrects inter‑slice misalignment through geometry‑aware alignment and routes contour features to template vertices via a plane‑aware Local Router, then jointly uses local and global features to deform a template mesh. Experiments on M&Ms‑2 and ACDC datasets show superior geometric reconstruction, functional estimation, and disease classification compared to existing methods, with strong cross‑dataset generalization.

Anatomy-Aligned Surface Field Learning for Myocardial Reconstruction from Sparse Short-Axis Cine MRI

The paper presents an anatomy‑aligned surface learning framework for reconstructing patient‑specific 4D myocardial surfaces from sparsely sampled short‑axis cine MRI. By parameterizing epicardial and endocardial surfaces on a shared circumferential‑longitudinal UV domain, the method transforms irregular 3D reconstruction into structured coordinate‑field completion, enabling explicit correspondence across subjects and cardiac phases. Experiments on three public datasets show the approach outperforms mesh‑based and implicit methods, achieving Chamfer distances around 2.6–2.9 mm and preserving ventricular function with small errors in volume and ejection fraction.

PPCAR-Net: Projection-Refined Parametric 3D Coronary Artery Reconstruction from Sparse X-ray Angiographic Views

PPCAR-Net is a neural network that reconstructs 3‑D coronary artery centrelines and radii from a sparse set of X‑ray angiographic views. It predicts a branch‑structured centreline-and‑radius representation directly, avoiding explicit point matching or triangulation. The method refines geometry and radius estimates using projection‑guided refiners and achieves real‑time performance with strong centreline accuracy, especially for the right coronary artery.
