AtlasGS: Brain MRI Spatial Resolution Harmonization With Shared Gaussian Geometry
About
Splatting (GS)-based shared geometry framework adopts a two-stage training strategy, in which an explicit, subject-specific Gaussian scaffold encoding anatomical geometry is first learned from the isotropic structural scan and then reused to fit appearance for target modalities acquired with sparse slices. Experiments on the UK Biobank, GBM, and ABCD datasets for through-plane super-resolution across multiple modalities (T2-weighted, FLAIR, DWI, ASL), degradation factors ($\times 3$, $\times 5$, $\times 7$), and pathological abnormalities (glioblastoma) demonstrate state-of-the-art reconstruction fidelity. The shared Gaussian geometry enables arbitrary-view generation for target modalities with strong structural consistency and further shows potential for self-supervised in-plane super-resolution. This work establishes explicit geometry-guided representations as a novel, flexible, and interpretable pathway toward retrospective multi-contrast MRI harmonization and reliable clinical reference construction.
