Anatomy-Guided Residual Motion Diffusion for Controllable 4D Cardiac MRI Synthesis

arXiv:2606.26764v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Developing robust artificial intelligence models for 4D (3D + time) medical imaging is constrained by limited annotated data, inter-device domain shifts, and privacy restrictions. To address this, we propose a 4D controllable generative framework for anatomically consistent data augmentation. A semi-supervised variational autoencoder learns a compact latent representation of anatomical volumes while jointly predicting aligned segmentation masks in a unified framework. Anatomical structure is then disentangled from temporal dynamics through a ca

Why this matters
