MAMA-FLUX.2: Image-to-Image Synthesis of Post-Contrast Breast DCE-MRI for the MAMA-SYNTH Challenge

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

The paper introduces MAMA-FLUX.2, a conditional latent flow‑matching model built on FLUX.2-Klein-4B, designed to synthesize post‑contrast breast DCE‑MRI from pre‑contrast images for the MAMA‑SYNTH challenge. It encodes the pre‑contrast image as spatial conditioning and predicts the flow field for the post‑contrast latent, adapting the pretrained model with LoRA fine‑tuning and a regional training objective that combines global flow matching, tumor‑region supervision, and stable foreground regularization. Ablation studies show that moderate tumor and stable‑foreground weighting improves the balance between image fidelity and tumor‑region accuracy, with the best configuration achieving a strong trade‑off using LoRA rank 64/64, MHA_max 25, λ_tumor 0.25, and λ_stable 0.1.

Dense Temporal Contrast Synthesis via Conditioned Latent Transport

arXiv:2607. 29394v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) is essential for breast cancer management, but reliance on gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) restricts use in contraindicated populations, prolongs scan protocols, and presents environmental toxicity concerns.

MIRAGE: Multi-scale Lesion-Informed Representation with Auxiliary Guidance for MRI Contrast Enhancement

Inferring contrast enhancement from one pre-contrast breast MRI slice is underdetermined: post-contrast appearance contains physiological information that is not uniquely encoded in baseline anatomy. Optimizing only paired pixel fidelity can suppress uncertain lesion enhancement, whereas adversarial or stochastic generative objectives can favor realistic post-contrast appearance without guaranteeing patient-specific lesion fidelity.

Consistency Models for Fast MRI Reconstruction Using Regularization by Denoising

The paper introduces CM-RED, a fast MRI reconstruction method that combines a pretrained consistency model with the regularization by denoising framework. By integrating controlled noise injection into accelerated proximal gradient updates, CM-RED achieves high‑quality reconstructions on fastMRI knee and brain datasets with only four network function evaluations. It consistently outperforms existing diffusion‑ and consistency‑based approaches in quantitative metrics, visual fidelity, and robustness to hyperparameter changes.
