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.
The paper introduces a self‑supervised method for detecting end‑diastole (ED) and end‑systole (ES) in echocardiography by constraining the latent motion to a single‑parameter orbit, effectively modeling cardiac phase as a one‑dimensional signal. This approach yields an interpretable representation that directly identifies ED and ES, improving ED localisation and matching ES performance compared to prior state‑of‑the‑art methods, while using fewer training epochs and a more constrained model. The method is trained on EchoNet‑Dynamic without annotations and the code is publicly available.
arXiv:2606. 26718v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) captures rich spatiotemporal information about ventricular structure and motion, but conventional risk models use only a few image-derived indices from selected cardiac phases.
Echo-E$^3$Net is an anatomy‑guided spatio‑temporal neural network designed to estimate left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) from ultrasound images. It uses a dual‑phase Endocardial Border Detector to locate end‑diastole and end‑systole landmarks and an Endocardial Feature Aggregator to fuse these landmarks with global deep‑feature descriptors for EF regression. The model achieves competitive accuracy on EchoNet‑Dynamic and EchoNet‑Pediatric datasets while using only 1.55 M parameters and 8.05 GFLOPs, enabling real‑time deployment on limited‑resource devices.

arXiv:2607. 13738v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deep video models estimate left-ventricular ejection fraction (EF) from echocardiography with near-expert accuracy, and post-hoc attribution is increasingly used to certify that such models look at the right place.
