Learning Cardiac Motion Priors for Implicit Neural Representations

arXiv:2607.00955v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Implicit neural representations (INRs) are well suited to cardiac motion estimation, providing continuous, compact representations of motion fields. However, fitting an INR to each image sequence is time-consuming and sensitive to the optimisation trajectory. Learned priors can help guide optimisation towards plausible motion fields and enable faster adaptation, but learning priors for cardiac motion INRs remains under-explored. In this work, we compare four strategies for learning cardiac motion priors, including a population prior learned by

Why this matters
Why now

This research addresses the current computational limitations of Implicit Neural Representations (INRs), a promising AI technique, by exploring learning cardiac motion priors for faster and more reliable deployment.

Why it’s important

Improving the efficiency and robustness of INRs for medical imaging, particularly cardiac motion analysis, can accelerate diagnostics, enhance treatment planning, and reduce computational overhead in healthcare AI.

What changes

The ability to integrate learned priors into INRs makes these continuous representations more practical for real-world, time-sensitive applications without extensive retraining, shifting how dynamic medical imaging data is processed.
