FlowMoDL is an unrolled neural network designed for highly accelerated 4D flow MRI reconstruction, optimizing both anatomical magnitude and phase-derived velocity accuracy. It alternates a learned (3+1)D spatiotemporal denoiser with conjugate‑gradient data‑consistency updates, using a dual‑pathway conditioning scheme to handle acceleration factors from 10× to 50×. Trained with a deep‑supervision composite loss that penalizes velocity magnitude and angular errors, FlowMoDL outperforms classical and deep‑learning baselines on the multi‑center CMRx4DFlow dataset, achieving superior gradient‑step efficiency and robust convergence across all acceleration factors.

arXiv:2606. 06313v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Wall shear stress (WSS) governs near-wall transport dynamics and is a key hemodynamic indicator in cardiovascular flows, yet remains difficult to infer accurately due to the need for precise computation of near-wall velocity gradients.

arXiv:2608. 03430v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Four-dimensional cone beam CT (4D CBCT) is important for image-guided radiation therapy of thoracic cancers, but its use is limited by long scan times, causing high patient dose and motion/sparse-sampling artifacts.

The paper presents a deep learning super‑resolution framework for 4D flow MRI of carotid arteries, using convolutional block attention modules to focus on clinically relevant spatial features and reduce noise. Trained on 120 patients with 240 stenosed carotid arteries, the model leverages patient‑specific CFD simulations as high‑resolution ground truth. Results show a significant reduction in RMSE and improved reconstruction of complex flow patterns compared to a baseline without attention.

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.
