MUMINS: Metadata-conditioned Uncertainty-aware Medical Image Next-state Synthesis
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.17169v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Forecasting anatomical changes such as tumor growth and neurodegeneration is a challenging generative vision task. Morphological evolution is subtle relative to static anatomy, highly patient-specific, and inherently stochastic. Existing methods struggle with several issues: deterministic networks ignore biological stochasticity, while standard diffusion models require computationally prohibitive multi-pass sampling to quantify uncertainty. We propose MUMINS (Metadata-conditioned Uncertainty-aware Medical Image Next-state Synthesis), an efficie
