Low-field to high-field MRI synthesis has emerged as a cost-effective strategy to enhance image quality under hardware and acquisition constraints, particularly in scenarios where access to high-field scanners is limited or impractical. Despite recent progress in diffusion models, diffusion-based approaches often struggle to balance fine-detail recovery and structural fidelity. In particular, the uncontrolled generation of high-resolution details in structurally ambiguous regions may introduce anatomically inconsistent patterns, such as spurious edges or artificial texture variations. These artifacts can bias downstream quantitative analysis. For example, they may cause inaccurate tissue boundary delineation or erroneous volumetric estimation, ultimately reducing clinical trust in synthesized images. These limitations highlight the need for generative models that are not only visually accurate but also spatially reliable and anatomically consistent. To address this issue, we propose a reliability-aware diffusion framework (ReDiff) that improves synthesis robustness at both the sampling and post-generation stages. Specifically, we introduce a reliability-guided sampling strategy to suppress unreliable responses during the denoising process. We further develop an uncertainty-aware multi-candidate selection scheme to enhance the reliability of the final prediction. Experiments on multi-center MRI datasets demonstrate improved structural fidelity and reduced artifacts compared with state-of-the-art methods.

Native 3D generative models have achieved remarkable fidelity and speed, yet they suffer from a critical limitation: inability to prescribe precise structural articulations, where precise structural control within the native 3D space remains underexplored. This paper proposes SK-Adapter, a simple and yet highly efficient and effective framework that unlocks precise skeletal manipulation for native 3D generation. Moving beyond text or image prompts, which can be ambiguous for precise structure, we treat the 3D skeleton as a first-class control signal. SK-Adapter is a lightweight structural adapter network that encodes joint coordinates and topology into learnable tokens, which are injected into the frozen 3D generation backbone via cross-attention. This smart design allows the model to not only effectively "attend" to specific 3D structural constraints but also preserve its original generative priors. To bridge the data gap, we contribute Objaverse-TMS dataset, a large-scale dataset of 24k text-mesh-skeleton pairs. Extensive experiments confirm that our method achieves robust structural control while preserving the geometry and texture quality of the foundation model, significantly outperforming existing baselines. Furthermore, we extend this capability to local 3D editing, enabling the region specific editing of existing assets with skeletal guidance, which is unattainable by previous methods.
