Gaussian representations outperform implicit methods in medical imaging

A new arXiv paper argues that explicit primitive representations, specifically Gaussian-based ones, are superior to Implicit Neural Representations for medical imaging tasks. The paper highlights that while implicit methods offer high fidelity, their computational costs and memory requirements are significant bottlenecks for high-resolution data. Gaussian representations, in contrast, demonstrate lower optimization times and memory usage while matching or exceeding reconstruction metrics in experiments on microscopy histology and computed tomography datasets.
