Physics-Informed Hemodynamic Modeling for Data-Free Prediction and Sparse-Data Assimilation

The paper introduces a physics-informed deep learning framework that reconstructs 3D coronary geometry from dual-view angiography and predicts velocity and pressure fields using a decoupled network with embedded physical priors. Across 32 patients and four flow conditions, the model achieved a trans‑stenotic pressure‑drop error of 2.02% and velocity/pressure relative‑L2 errors of 0.054 and 0.023, respectively, while matching hospital‑measured FFR with 93.8% diagnostic accuracy. The pipeline completes the full angiography‑to‑hemodynamics conversion in about 20 minutes per patient and supports sparse‑data assimilation for revascularization planning.

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.

MAC-XA: Multi-view Anatomy-Correspondence Fusion for Coronary Stenosis Reporting from X-ray Angiography

Multi-view reasoning in coronary X-ray angiography is inherently a cross-projection geometric problem, yet automated report generation in this setting remains largely unexplored. The 3D vascular topology leads to projection-dependent branch overlap and foreshortening, rendering single-view modeling fundamentally incomplete and unstable for lesion localization and stenosis grading.

ReG-SAM: Reference Graph-Driven SAM for 2D Foundational Vessel Segmentation

ReG-SAM is a SAM-based framework designed for 2D vessel segmentation in medical images. It introduces reference graph prompt embeddings (GPEs) and vascular prototype embeddings (VPEs) to capture global spatial and fine-grained modality-specific vessel features, respectively. By building a modality-wise vascular database and learning these embeddings from reference masks, ReG-SAM consistently outperforms existing baselines across 19 datasets, especially on thin vessels.
