Spectral Consistent Flow for One-step 3D Medical Image Translation
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
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.
