Spectral Consistent Flow for One-step 3D Medical Image Translation

We present Spectral Consistent Flow (SC-Flow), a 3D medical image translation framework with a single function evaluation (1-NFE) in the latent space. This approach reformulates medical image translation as a stochastic Brownian bridge process that directly constructs a mapping between source and target modalities by predicting the support regularized mean velocity field. To mitigate modality entanglement, over-smoothing, and artifacts induced by the implicit low-pass modulation of the latent average velocity, we introduce a Spectral Consistency Corrector that dynamically regularizes the evolution of the power spectral density via learnable frequency-domain gain modulation. This mechanism establishes an explicit bridge between spatial textures and spectral energy flow, enabling the model to recover fine-grained anatomical fidelity while maintaining global structural coherence. Extensive experiments on four datasets demonstrate that SC-Flow delivers significantly more accurate, consistent, and robust performance across various translation scenarios.

Large Language Model Aided Birt-Hogg-Dube Syndrome Diagnosis with Multimodal Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Deep learning methods face dual challenges of limited clinical samples and low inter-class differentiation among Diffuse Cystic Lung Diseases (DCLDs) in advancing Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome (BHD) diagnosis via Computed Tomography (CT) imaging. While Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) demonstrate diagnostic potential fo such rare diseases, the absence of domain-specific knowledge and referable radiological features intensify hallucination risks. To address this problem, we propose BHD-RAG, a multimodal retrieval-augmented generation framework that integrates DCLD-specific expertise and clinical precedents with MLLMs to improve BHD diagnostic accuracy. BHDRAG employs: (1) a specialized agent generating imaging manifestation descriptions of CT images to construct a multimodal corpus of DCLDs cases. (2) a cosine similarity-based retriever pinpointing relevant imagedescription pairs for query images, and (3) an MLLM synthesizing retrieved evidence with imaging data for diagnosis. BHD-RAG is validated on the dataset involving four types of DCLDs, achieving superior accuracy and generating evidence-based descriptions closely aligned with expert insights.
