Spatiotemporal Distillation via Recurrent Bottlenecks for Aortic Tracking

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 24, 2026 · UTC

Cardiac cine-MRI serves as a direct visual indicator of cardiovascular hemodynamics by capturing the continuous wall motion of the aorta. Quantifying these dynamic structural changes across the cardiac cycle is essential for measuring aortic distensibility, a primary marker of arterial stiffness. However, standard 2D segmentation networks focus on each frame independently. Consequently, when rapid systolic flow temporarily obscures the aorta's boundaries, this lack of continuous context results in frame-to-frame tracking dropouts and boundary inconsistencies.
