This minimal single-parameter cardiac phase model learns an effective latent orbit, significantly improves upon the previous state of the art in ED localisation and matches it in ES localisation while using a more constrained representation and fewer training epochs, demonstrating that a principled physiological inductive bias can match or exceed the performance of more complex representations.

Counterintuitively, moderately similar reference images are the key to unlocking accurate VLM-based anomaly localization in medical imaging.
