Progression as Latent Drift: Generative Forecasting of Slow-Evolving Pathologies

The paper introduces Latent Drift, a generative forecasting framework that predicts slow-evolving neurodegenerative disease progression by learning changes in a compressed semantic representation rather than full-resolution anatomy. It addresses two failure modes—identity collapse and continuous interpolation trap—by removing pixel-level identity from the prediction target and applying Finite Scalar Quantization to suppress high-frequency nuisance fluctuations. Experiments on longitudinal 3D brain MRI demonstrate that Latent Drift outperforms diffusion and autoregressive transformer baselines in both generative fidelity and clinically relevant metrics.

Prior-Guided Implicit Neural Representations for Single-Subject Diffusion MRI Super-Resolution

The paper introduces a transfer‑learning framework that pre‑trains an implicit neural representation (INR) on a high‑resolution diffusion MRI template and then adapts it to individual subjects through registration and fine‑tuning. This approach enables native single‑subject super‑resolution, achieving a 4× through‑plane up‑sampling from 5 mm to 1.25 mm on Human Connectome Project data. Compared to a recent baseline, the method reduces NRMSE by 36–49 % and increases FSIM by 24–43 %, while training 6× faster and outperforming other INR‑based techniques on both image quality and domain‑specific metrics.
