The paper introduces AWR-Net, a two‑stage framework that decouples anatomy and appearance to synthesize realistic 3D fetal brain ultrasound volumes from anatomical label maps. The first stage uses wavelet diffusion to generate volumes from atlas pairs in the wavelet domain, while the second stage applies residual refinement in the image domain to adapt to real ultrasound appearance. Experiments on real fetal brain ultrasound data show that AWR‑Net outperforms existing synthesis methods, improving metrics such as normalized cross‑correlation and Fréchet Inception Distance, and also enhances downstream segmentation, especially for severe abnormal cases.

RFlash is a physics‑informed post‑processing technique that removes acoustic shadows in ultrasound by decomposing beamformed images into attenuation and scatter‑intensity maps using a differentiable radiance‑field model. It re‑renders images to eliminate depth‑dependent signal loss, effectively simulating a virtual transducer advance. Across thousands of fetal brain, abdominal, and liver scans, RFlash outperforms traditional attenuation correction, reduces prediction error by 40% in fetal brain imaging, and provides shadow‑confidence maps that enhance bone‑shadow segmentation.
