ORACLE-CT: Anatomy-Aware Support Pooling for CT Classification
Announce Type: new Abstract: Abdominal CT disease classification is challenging because each scan is a large 3D volume with many possible findings, while diagnostic evidence is often confined to specific organs or anatomical compartments. Most study-level classifiers aggregate encoder features using anatomy-agnostic pooling or attention, creating a mismatch between localized disease evidence and global evidence aggregation. We propose ORACLE--CT, an encoder-agnostic anatomy-aware aggregation...
vesselFM-CT: Segmenting All Blood Vessels in CT Images for System-Level Cardiovascular Analysis
arXiv:2606.09400v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The vascular network in the human body is characterized by blood vessels exhibiting drastic structural variations in radius, length, topological properties, and branching patterns. This heterogeneity, together with location-specific anatomical background variations, poses a significant challenge for robust, large-scale analysis of the entire cardiovascular system. As a result, most research has focused on narrow, isolated segments of the...
Foveated-Imaging Geometry CT Architecture and Seeded Diffusion Model Enabling Global Super-Resolution Reconstruction
Announce Type: new Abstract: For X-ray computed tomography (CT), a smaller detector pixel size generally leads to higher scanner spatial resolution, but inevitably increases system cost as well as data overhead in acquisition and processing. To achieve high-resolution (HR) CT imaging in a more resource-efficient manner, we propose a Foveated-Imaging Geometry CT (FIGCT) architecture, which integrates local HR data into an acquisition scheme dominated by low-resolution (LR) measurements. We...
LegSegNet: A Public Deep Learning System for Lower Extremity CT Tissue Segmentation and Quantification
arXiv:2605.30829v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Lower extremity computed tomography (CT) contains clinically relevant information for body composition analysis, sarcopenia assessment, and musculoskeletal disease monitoring, but extracting these measurements at scale requires accurate tissue segmentation and an automated quantification workflow. Existing public segmentation tools are not designed for comprehensive lower extremity CT analysis, particularly for clinically important...
Foundation VAEs for 3D CT Reconstruction, Augmentation, and Generation
Announce Type: new Abstract: Variational autoencoders (VAEs) compress high resolution CT volumes into compact latents while preserving clinically relevant structure. However, training CT-specific VAEs from scratch or heavily fine-tuning them incurs substantial computational and engineering cost, and often degrades under heterogeneous scanners, protocols, and diseases. This paper makes a progressive stride toward training-free medical VAEs by leveraging a critical observation: a single...
CAD-to-CT Registration of Cylindrical Objects via Ellipse-Based Axis Estimation
arXiv:2606.02935v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accurate registration of CAD models to CT scans is essential for establishing ground truth geometry in volumetric imaging. Obtaining reliable object masks is of growing importance in machine learning settings; as recent architectures grow more capable, huge datasets are required to fully utilise their capabilities. Traditional intensity-based methods fail when CT grayscale values lack calibration references, while point-based algorithms (e.g.,...
CT-VAM: A Cerebello-Thalamic-Inspired Vision-Action Model for Efficient Visuomotor Control
arXiv:2606.09572v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-language-action models have shown strong promise for robot manipulation, yet raw language is primarily needed to specify task intent rather than to be repeatedly processed during high-frequency low-level execution. Motivated by this separation, we propose a cerebello-thalamic-inspired vision-action model (CT-VAM) for efficient task-conditioned visuomotor control. CT-VAM acts as a compact local execution policy that predicts action chunks...
Multi-Granularity 3D Kidney Lesion Characterization from CT Volumes
arXiv:2606.04365v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Radiology reports describe kidney lesions by type, size, enhancement, and attenuation, yet existing 3D methods predict only at the patient or organ level. We reformulate kidney CT characterization as a per-lesion set-prediction task: one model emits a variable number of lesions per kidney, each with four clinical attributes. We curated 2,619 CT volumes from 788 patients at one academic medical center, with multi-granularity side- and per-lesion...
The Role of Free-breathing GRASP MRI in Accurate Phase Matching with 4D-CT for Motion Representation in Liver Cancer Radiotherapy
new Abstract: Objective: To determine whether free-breathing golden-angle radial sparse parallel (GRASP) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can represent respiratory-induced organ motion in patients with liver malignancies undergoing stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Methods: A retrospective analysis of 54 patients undergoing liver SBRT was conducted. Four-dimensional computed tomography (4D-CT), the gold standard for motion assessment, was used to characterize liver tumor motion.
Tracing the Oracle: Improving Diffusion Timestep Scheduling for 3D CT Reconstruction
arXiv:2606.06236v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pretrained diffusion models demonstrate impressive potential in solving highly ill-posed 3D computed tomography (CT) inverse problems, while the inference process suffers from significant computational overhead. Furthermore, existing uniform timestep schedules fail to capture the non-uniform evolution of the reverse conditional diffusion stochastic differential equation, thereby introducing substantial truncation errors. To overcome this...
