Despite the development of numerous methods for other medical data, generative approaches in dental radiology remain unexplored. Due to the intricate tooth structures and specialized terminology, these methods often yield ambiguous tooth regions and incorrect dental concepts when applied to dentistry. In this paper, we take the first attempt to investigate diffusion-based teeth X-ray image generation and propose ToothMaker, a novel framework specifically designed for the dental domain. Firstly, to synthesize X-ray images that possess accurate tooth structures and realistic radiological styles simultaneously, we design control-disentangled fine-tuning (CDFT) strategy. Specifically, we present two separate controllers to handle style and layout control respectively, and introduce a gradient-based decoupling method that optimizes each using their corresponding disentangled gradients. Secondly, to enhance model's understanding of dental terminology, we propose prior-disentangled guidance module (PDGM), enabling precise synthesis of dental concepts. It utilizes large language model to decompose dental terminology into a series of meta-knowledge elements and performs interactions and refinements through hypergraph neural network. These elements are then fed into the network to guide the generation of dental concepts. Extensive experiments demonstrate the high fidelity and diversity of the images synthesized by our approach. By incorporating the generated data, we achieve substantial performance improvements on downstream segmentation and visual question answering tasks, indicating that our method can greatly reduce the reliance on manually annotated data.

However, these fully automatic methods often fail to meet clinically acceptable accuracy, especially when topological constraints should be observed, e.g., continuous boundaries or closed surfaces. In medical image segmentation, the correctness of a segmentation in terms of the required topological genus sometimes is even more important than the pixel-wise accuracy. Existing topology-aware approaches commonly estimate and constrain the topological structure via the concept of persistent homology (PH). However, these methods are difficult to implement for high dimensional data due to their polynomial computational complexity. To overcome this problem, we propose a novel and fast approach for topology-aware segmentation based on the Euler Characteristic (χ). First, we propose a fast formulation for χ computation in both 2D and 3D. The scalar χ error between the prediction and ground-truth serves as the topological evaluation metric. Then we estimate the spatial topology correctness of any segmentation network via a so-called topological violation map, i.e., a detailed map that highlights regions with χ errors. Finally, the segmentation results from the arbitrary network are refined based on the topological violation maps by a topology-aware correction network. Our experiments are conducted on both 2D and 3D datasets and show that our method can significantly improve topological correctness while preserving pixel-wise segmentation accuracy.","PeriodicalId":13418,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144720144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When implemented using pulse-echo sensing and phase shift estimation principles, this modality's pulse repetition frequency (PRF) is known to influence the maximum detectable velocity. If the PRF is inevitably set below the Nyquist limit due to imaging requirements or hardware constraints, aliasing errors or spectral overlap may corrupt the estimated flow data. To solve this issue, we have devised a deep learning-based framework, powered by a custom slow-time upsampling network (SUP-Net) that leverages spatiotemporal characteristics to upsample the received ultrasound signals across pulse echoes acquired using high-frame-rate ultrasound (HiFRUS). Our framework infers high-PRF signals from signals acquired at low PRF, thereby improving Doppler ultrasound's flow estimation quality. SUP-Net was trained and evaluated on in vivo femoral acquisitions from 20 participants and was applied recursively to resolve scenarios with excessive aliasing across a range of PRFs. We report the successful reconstruction of slow-time signals with frequency content that exceeds the Nyquist limit once and twice. By operating on the fundamental slow-time signals, our framework can resolve aliasing-related artifacts in several downstream modalities, including color Doppler and pulse wave Doppler.","PeriodicalId":13418,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144701288","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
