• Title: On the effectiveness of GAN generated cardiac MRIs for segmentation
• Authors: Youssef Skandarani, Nathan Painchaud, Pierre-Marc Jodoin, Alain Lalande
• Abstract summary: We propose a Variational Autoencoder (VAE) trained to learn the latent representations of cardiac shapes. On the other side is a GAN that uses "SPatially-Adaptive (DE)Normalization" modules to generate realistic MR images tailored to a given anatomical map. We show that segmentation with CNNs trained with our synthetic annotated images gets competitive results compared to traditional techniques.

• Abstract: In this work, we propose a Variational Autoencoder (VAE) - Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) model that can produce highly realistic MRI together with its pixel accurate groundtruth for the application of cine-MR image cardiac segmentation. On one side of our model is a Variational Autoencoder (VAE) trained to learn the latent representations of cardiac shapes. On the other side is a GAN that uses "SPatially-Adaptive (DE)Normalization" (SPADE) modules to generate realistic MR images tailored to a given anatomical map. At test time, the sampling of the VAE latent space allows to generate an arbitrary large number of cardiac shapes, which are fed to the GAN that subsequently generates MR images whose cardiac structure fits that of the cardiac shapes. In other words, our system can generate a large volume of realistic yet labeled cardiac MR images. We show that segmentation with CNNs trained with our synthetic annotated images gets competitive results compared to traditional techniques. We also show that combining data augmentation with our GAN-generated images lead to an improvement in the Dice score of up to 12 percent while allowing for better generalization capabilities on other datasets.

  Compressed Sensing MRI reconstructs images of the body's internal anatomy from undersampled and compressed measurements. Deep neural networks have shown great potential for reconstructing high-quality images from highly undersampled measurements. We propose a unified model that is robust to different subsampling patterns and image resolutions in CS-MRI.

  This work investigates the use of Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks (DCGAN) for producing high-fidelity and realistic MRI image slices. While the discriminator network discerns between created and real slices, the generator network learns to synthesise realistic MRI image slices. The generator refines its capacity to generate slices that closely mimic real MRI data through an adversarial training approach.

  We propose a novel model, Multi-modal Gaussian Process Prior Variational Autoencoder (MGP-VAE), to impute one or more missing sub-modalities for a patient scan. MGP-VAE can leverage the Gaussian Process (GP) prior on the Variational Autoencoder (VAE) to utilize the subjects/patients and sub-modalities correlations. We show the applicability of MGP-VAE on brain tumor segmentation where either, two, or three of four sub-modalities may be missing.
