Super-resolution (SR) techniques offer a potential solution to enhance MR image quality without changing the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) hardware. However, typical SR methods are designed for fixed upsampling scales and often produce over-smoothed images that lack fine textures and edge details. To address these issues, we propose a unified diffusion-based framework for arbitrary-scale in-plane MR image SR, dubbed Progressive Reconstruction and Denoising Diffusion Model (PRDDiff). Specifically, the forward diffusion process of PRDDiff gradually masks out high-frequency components and adds Gaussian noise to simulate the downsampling process in MRI. To reverse this process, we propose an Adaptive Resolution Restoration Network (ARRNet), which introduces a current step corresponding to the resolution of input MR image and an ending step corresponding to the target resolution. This design guide the ARRNet to recovering the clean MR image at the target resolution from input MR image. The SR process starts from an MR image at the initial resolution and gradually enhances them to higher resolution by progressively reconstructing high-frequency components and removing the noise based on the recovered MR image from ARRNet. Furthermore, we design a multi-stage SR strategy that incrementally enhances resolution through multiple sequential stages to further improve recovery accuracy. Each stage utilizes a set number of sampling steps from PRDDiff, guided by a specific ending step, to recover details pertinent to the predefined intermediate resolution. We conduct extensive experiments on fastMRI knee dataset, fastMRI brain dataset, our real-collected LR-HR brain dataset, and clinical pediatric cerebral palsy (CP) dataset, including T1-weighted and T2-weighted images for the brain and proton density-weighted images for the knee. The results demonstrate that PRDDiff outperforms previous MR image super-resolution methods in term of reconstruction accuracy, generalization, and downstream lesion segmentation accuracy and CP classification performance.

Among various methods based on rs-fMRI, graph neural networks have received significant attention because of their inherent structural similarity to functional connectivity networks (FCNs) of the brain. However, constructing FCNs that effectively capture both spatial and temporal information from rs-fMRI remains challenging, as traditional methods often rely on static, fully connected graphs that risk redundancy and neglect dynamic patterns. Based on the information bottleneck principle, this paper proposes a graph augmentation strategy named Graph Spatial–Temporal Infomax (GraSTI) to adaptively preserve both global spatial brain-wide FCNs and local temporal dynamics. We integrate GraSTI with theoretical explanations and design a practical implementation to adapt to our graph augmentation strategy and enhance feature capture capability. Furthermore, GraSTI is incorporated into an adversarial contrastive learning framework to achieve a mutual information equilibrium between graph representation effectiveness and robustness for downstream brain disorders diagnosis tasks. The proposed method is evaluated on datasets from three different brain disorders: Alzheimer’s disease (AD), major depressive disorder (MDD), and bipolar disorder (BD). Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed GraSTI-ACL achieves diagnostic accuracy gains of 0.13% to 23.56% for AD, 1.23% to 13.81% for MDD, and 2.53% to 24.53% for BD diagnosis over existing methods.

However, existing methods exhibit poor robustness when dealing with FBNs that have inherent high-noise characteristics. To address these issues, we propose a robust NAS with progressive-enhanced strategies for FBN classification. Specifically, this method adopts Particle Swarm Optimization as the search method, while treating candidate architectures as individuals, and proposes two progressive-enhanced (PE) strategies to optimize the critical stages of population sampling and fitness evaluation. In the population sampling stage, we first utilize Latin Hypercube Sampling to initialize a small-scale population, ensuring a broad search range. Subsequently, to reduce random fluctuations in searches, we propose a PE supplementary sampling strategy that identifies advantageous regions of the solution space, and performs precise supplementary sampling of the population. In the fitness evaluation stage, to enhance the noise resistance of the searched architectures, we propose a PE fitness evaluation strategy. This strategy first evaluates individual fitness separately using both original data and artificially constructed noise-augmented data, then combines the two fitness scores through a novel progressive formula to determine the final individual fitness.

The devastating disease is often clinically silent before causing irreversible visual damage. Glaucomatous optic neuropathy is the major diagnostic criterion for glaucoma. Patients with severe PACG have been clinically found to have significantly lower pupillary reflex velocity and higher iris rigidity. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) enables dynamic visualization of the ocular iris anatomy which cannot otherwise be acquired by other imaging modalities. However, automatic quantification of dynamic iris motion on AS-OCT has not yet been implemented. The main challenges lie in the frequent jitter of high-resolution optical imaging, irregular temporal variations of elastic features, and relatively scarce datasets. In this paper, we propose an unsupervised constraint-based jitter refinement tracking (CJRTrack) framework for long-term AS-OCT video tracking. CJRTrack primarily consists of three modules: it first extracts a set of key regions from low-resolution images using an off-the-shelf point tracking algorithm. Given the initialized frames and points, an unsupervised multi-frame differentiable registration network estimates the localized deformation field patch for corresponding high-resolution images. It then refines these predictions using a temporal topology constraint-based module, which explicitly ensures overall trajectory stabilization and tracking. Multi-scale evaluations on two independent AS-OCT datasets demonstrate that CJRTrack significantly outperforms existing tracking models in both accuracy and stability.
