LV-CARE-Diff: A Conditional Anatomy-Aware Diffusion Model for Left Ventricular Shape Reconstruction and Function Quantification from Ultra-Sparse Cine Slices

Left ventricular functional quantification is an essential examination and is routinely performed using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) cine imaging. However, conventional CMR cine protocols require the acquisition of multiple short-axis (SAX) slices to cover the entire left ventricle (LV) along with two long-axis (LAX) slices, which is time-consuming and places a considerable burden on patients who are unable to sustain repeated breath-holds, limiting its suitability for large-scale early screening. In this study, a Conditional Anatomy-Aware Diffusion Model (LV-CARE-Diff) was developed using a coarse-to-fine strategy to reconstruct the complete LV shape from ultra-sparse cine slices, namely three short-axis and two long-axis slices, with the aim of accelerating CMR cine examination. LV-CARE-Diff employs a 3DUNet to generate a coarse initial shape, which is subsequently refined through a residual diffusion model. A condition-guided input incorporating imaging plane orientation and positional metadata was constructed to enable spatial awareness, and a multi-objective training strategy jointly supervising shape, function, and anatomy was incorporated to guide high-fidelity reconstruction. LV-CARE-Diff was compared against a standalone 3DUNet, a standalone diffusion model, and a 3D UNet with diffusion-based refinement. Testing results indicated that complete LV shape could be robustly reconstructed by all deep learning models, with the highest reconstruction performance achieved by the proposed LV-CARE-Diff. Deep learning models reconstructing LV shape from sparse cine slices preserved 96% of functional quantification accuracy while reducing imaging time by 73%. The LV-CARE-Diff framework established in this study enables ultra-sparse cine acquisition to shorten CMR examination duration without sacrificing quantitative functional accuracy.

TaxPraBen: A Scalable Benchmark for Structured Evaluation of LLMs in Chinese Real-World Tax Practice

While Large Language Models (LLMs) excel in various general domains, they exhibit notable gaps in the highly specialized, knowledge-intensive, and legally regulated Chinese tax domain. Consequently, while tax-related benchmarks are gaining attention, many focus on isolated NLP tasks, neglecting real-world practical capabilities. To address this issue, we introduce TaxPraBen, the first dedicated benchmark for Chinese taxation practice. It combines 10 traditional application tasks, along with 3 pioneering real-world scenarios: tax risk prevention, tax inspection analysis, and tax strategy planning, sourced from 14 datasets totaling 7.3K instances. TaxPraBen features a scalable structured evaluation paradigm designed through process of "structured parsing-field alignment extraction-numerical and textual matching", enabling end-to-end tax practice assessment while being extensible to other domains. We evaluate 19 LLMs based on Bloom's taxonomy. The results indicate significant performance disparities: all closed-source large-parameter LLMs excel, and Chinese LLMs like Qwen2.5 generally exceed multilingual LLMs, while the YaYi2 LLM, fine-tuned with some tax data, shows only limited improvement. TaxPraBen serves as a vital resource for advancing evaluations of LLMs in practical applications.

XBRLTagRec: Domain-Specific Fine-Tuning and Zero-Shot Re-Ranking with LLMs for Extreme Financial Numeral Labeling

Publicly traded companies must disclose financial information under regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL), as an XML-based financial language, enables standardized and machine-readable reporting, but accurate tag selection from large taxonomies remains challenging. Existing fine-tuning-based methods struggle to distinguish highly similar XBRL tags, limiting performance in financial data matching. To address these issues, we introduce XBRLTagRec, an end-to-end framework for automated financial numeral tagging. The framework generates semantic tag documents with a fine-tuned FLAN-T5-Large model, retrieves relevant candidates via semantic similarity, and applies zero-shot re-ranking with ChatGPT-3.5 to select the optimal tag. Experiments on the FNXL dataset show that XBRLTagRec outperforms the state-of-the-art FLAN-FinXC framework, achieving 2.64%-4.47% improvements in Hits@1 and Macro metrics. These results demonstrate its effectiveness in large-scale and semantically complex tag matching scenarios.

DCFFSNet: Deep Connectivity Feature Fusion Separation Network for Medical Image Segmentation

Medical image segmentation leverages topological connectivity theory to enhance edge precision and regional consistency. However, existing deep networks integrating connectivity often forcibly inject it as an additional feature module, resulting in coupled feature spaces with no standardized mechanism to quantify different feature strengths. To address these issues, we propose DCFFSNet (Dual-Connectivity Feature Fusion-Separation Network). It introduces an innovative feature space decoupling strategy. This strategy quantifies the relative strength between connectivity features and other features. It then builds a deep connectivity feature fusion-separation architecture. This architecture dynamically balances multi-scale feature expression. Experiments were conducted on the ISIC2018, DSB2018, and MoNuSeg datasets. On ISIC2018, DCFFSNet outperformed the next best model (CMUNet) by 1.3% (Dice) and 1.2% (IoU). On DSB2018, it surpassed TransUNet by 0.7% (Dice) and 0.9% (IoU). On MoNuSeg, it exceeded CSCAUNet by 0.8% (Dice) and 0.9% (IoU). The results demonstrate that DCFFSNet exceeds existing mainstream methods across all metrics. It effectively resolves segmentation fragmentation and achieves smooth edge transitions. This significantly enhances clinical usability.

Unified Multimodal Coherent Field: Synchronous Semantic-Spatial-Vision Fusion for Brain Tumor Segmentation

Brain tumor segmentation requires accurate identification of hierarchical regions including whole tumor (WT), tumor core (TC), and enhancing tumor (ET) from multi-sequence magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images. Due to tumor tissue heterogeneity, ambiguous boundaries, and contrast variations across MRI sequences, methods relying solely on visual information or post-hoc loss constraints show unstable performance in boundary delineation and hierarchy preservation. To address this challenge, we propose the Unified Multimodal Coherent Field (UMCF) method. This method achieves synchronous interactive fusion of visual, semantic, and spatial information within a unified 3D latent space, adaptively adjusting modal contributions through parameter-free uncertainty gating, with medical prior knowledge directly participating in attention computation, avoiding the traditional "process-then-concatenate" separated architecture. On Brain Tumor Segmentation (BraTS) 2020 and 2021 datasets, UMCF+nnU-Net achieves average Dice coefficients of 0.8579 and 0.8977 respectively, with an average 4.18% improvement across mainstream architectures. By deeply integrating clinical knowledge with imaging features, UMCF provides a new technical pathway for multimodal information fusion in precision medicine.

MyoFold: rapid Myocardial tissue and movement quantification via a highly Folded sequence

Purpose: To develop and evaluate a cardiovascular magnetic resonance sequence (MyoFold) for rapid myocardial tissue and movement characterization. Method: MyoFold sequentially performs joint T1/T2 mapping and cine for one left-ventricle slice within a breathing-holding of 12 heartbeats. MyoFold uses balanced Steady-State-Free-Precession (bSSFP) with 2-fold acceleration for data readout and adopts an electrocardiogram (ECG) to synchronize the cardiac cycle. MyoFold first acquires six single-shot inversion-recovery images at the diastole of the first six heartbeats. For joint T1/T2 mapping, T2 preparation (T2-prep) adds different T2 weightings to the last three images. On the remaining six heartbeats, segmented bSSFP is continuously performed for each cardiac phase for cine. We build a neural network and trained it using the numerical simulation of MyoFold for T1 and T2 calculations. MyoFold was validated through phantom and in-vivo experiments and compared to MOLLI, SASHA, T2-prep bSSFP, and convention cine. Results: MyoFold phantom T1 had a 10% overestimation while MyoFold T2 had high accuracy. MyoFold in-vivo T1 had comparable accuracy to that of SASHA and precision to that of MOLLI. MyoFold had good agreement with T2-prep bSSFP in myocardium T2 measurement. There was no difference in the myocardium thickness measurement between the MyoFold cine and convention cine. Conclusion: MyoFold can simultaneously quantify myocardial tissue and movement, with accuracy and precision comparable to dedicated sequences, saving three-fold scan time.
