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.

The paper introduces a 3D residual wavelet diffusion model for super‑resolving ultra low‑field MRI scans. By using a lossless wavelet reparameterisation, residual shifting, and domain randomisation, the method fits whole‑brain data on a single GPU, speeds up sampling, and generalises across scanners. It achieves volumetric accuracy comparable to leading regression approaches while producing per‑voxel uncertainty maps that reveal under‑determined regions and preserves disease‑relevant atrophy in cognitively impaired subjects.

SliceBridge is a new framework for repairing corrupted slice intervals in T1‑weighted MRI by using rectified flow matching conditioned on surrounding intact slices and their relative positions. It enforces through‑plane consistency by coupling slices within the interval through shared noise, flow time, and synchronized sampling, then reinserts the restored interval without altering other slices. In experiments on 9,877 brain MRIs and 581 external subjects, SliceBridge reduced slice‑to‑slice error by 32.9%–41.3% and improved SSIM across interval lengths, while lowering downstream segmentation volume estimation error from 1.95% to 1.05%.
