• Abstract: Medical image analysis using deep neural networks has been actively studied. Deep neural networks are trained by learning data. For accurate training of deep neural networks, the learning data should be sufficient, of good quality, and should have a generalized property. However, in medical images, it is difficult to acquire sufficient patient data because of the difficulty of patient recruitment, the burden of annotation of lesions by experts, and the invasion of patients' privacy. In comparison, the medical images of healthy volunteers can be easily acquired. Using healthy brain images, the proposed method synthesizes multi-contrast magnetic resonance images of brain tumors. Because tumors have complex features, the proposed method simplifies them into concentric circles that are easily controllable. Then it converts the concentric circles into various realistic shapes of tumors through deep neural networks. Because numerous healthy brain images are easily available, our method can synthesize a huge number of the brain tumor images with various concentric circles. We performed qualitative and quantitative analysis to assess the usefulness of augmented data from the proposed method. Intuitive and interesting experimental results are available online at https://github.com/KSH0660/BrainTumor
