• Abstract summary: We introduce our 3-D generative model, Transversal GAN (TrGAN) using head & neck PET images conditioned on tumour masks as a case study. We show that the discriminator of the TrGAN is vulnerable to attack, and that an attacker can identify which samples were used in training with almost perfect accuracy. This suggests that TrGAN generators, but not discriminators, may be used for sharing synthetic 3-D PET data with minimal privacy risk.

• Abstract: Training computer-vision related algorithms on medical images for disease diagnosis or image segmentation is difficult in large part due to privacy concerns. For this reason, generative image models are highly sought after to facilitate data sharing. However, 3-D generative models are understudied, and investigation of their privacy leakage is needed. We introduce our 3-D generative model, Transversal GAN (TrGAN), using head & neck PET images which are conditioned on tumour masks as a case study. We define quantitative measures of image fidelity, utility and privacy for our model. These metrics are evaluated in the course of training to identify ideal fidelity, utility and privacy trade-offs and establish the relationships between these parameters. We show that the discriminator of the TrGAN is vulnerable to attack, and that an attacker can identify which samples were used in training with almost perfect accuracy (AUC = 0.99). We also show that an attacker with access to only the generator cannot reliably classify whether a sample had been used for training (AUC = 0.51). This suggests that TrGAN generators, but not discriminators, may be used for sharing synthetic 3-D PET data with minimal privacy risk while maintaining good utility and fidelity.

  This paper presents analysis for three different iris matchers at varying points in the GAN training process to diagnose where and when authentic training samples are in jeopardy of leaking through the generative process. Our results show that while most synthetic samples do not show signs of identity leakage, a handful of generated samples match authentic (training) samples nearly perfectly, with consensus across all matchers.
