ArXi:2604.22942v1 Announce Type: cross Diffusion models produce high-quality synthetic data but suffer from slow inference. We propose 3D Variable-Step Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Model (VS-DDPM) a framework engineered to maintain generative quality while accelerating inference by several factors. We tested our approach on four tasks (missing MRI, tumor removal, MRI-to-sCT, and CBCT-to-sCT) within the BraTS2025 and SynthRAD2025 challenges. Designed for high efficiency under hardware and time constrains imposed by both challenges.
