• Abstract: Lesion synthesis received much attention with the rise of efficient generative models for augmenting training data, drawing lesion evolution scenarios, or aiding expert training. The quality and diversity of synthesized data are highly dependent on the annotated data used to train the models, which not rarely struggle to derive very different yet realistic samples from the training ones. That adds an inherent bias to lesion segmentation algorithms and limits synthesizing lesion evolution scenarios efficiently. This paper presents a method for decoupling shape and density for liver lesion synthesis, creating a framework that allows straight-forwardly driving the synthesis. We offer qualitative results that show the synthesis control by modifying shape and density individually, and quantitative results that demonstrate that embedding the density information in the generator model helps to increase lesion segmentation performance compared to using the shape solely.

  Synthetic-to-real transfer learning is a framework in which we pre-train models with synthetically generated images and ground-truth annotations for real tasks. Although synthetic images overcome the data scarcity issue, it remains unclear how the fine-tuning performance scales with pre-trained models. We observe a simple and general scaling law that consistently describes learning curves in various tasks, models, and complexities of synthesized pre-training data.

  We propose an Information-Distillation Generative Adrial Network (ID-GAN) for disentanglement learning and high-fidelity synthesis. Our method learns disentangled representation using VAE-based models, and distills the learned representation with an additional nuisance variable to the separate GAN-based generator for high-fidelity synthesis. Despite the simplicity, we show that the proposed method is highly effective, achieving comparable image generation quality to the state-of-the-art methods using the disentangled representation.
