• Abstract summary: We propose an attention-based dual contrast generative model, called ADC-cycleGAN, which can synthesize medical images from unpaired data with multiple slices. The model integrates a dual contrast loss term with the CycleGAN loss to ensure that the synthesized images are distinguishable from the source domain. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed ADC-cycleGAN model produces comparable samples to other state-of-the-art generative models.

• Abstract: Magnetic resonance (MR) and computer tomography (CT) imaging are valuable tools for diagnosing diseases and planning treatment. However, limitations such as radiation exposure and cost can restrict access to certain imaging modalities. To address this issue, medical image synthesis can generate one modality from another, but many existing models struggle with high-quality image synthesis when multiple slices are present in the dataset. This study proposes an attention-based dual contrast generative model, called ADC-cycleGAN, which can synthesize medical images from unpaired data with multiple slices. The model integrates a dual contrast loss term with the CycleGAN loss to ensure that the synthesized images are distinguishable from the source domain. Additionally, an attention mechanism is incorporated into the generators to extract informative features from both channel and spatial domains. To improve performance when dealing with multiple slices, the $K$-means algorithm is used to cluster the dataset into $K$ groups, and each group is used to train a separate ADC-cycleGAN. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed ADC-cycleGAN model produces comparable samples to other state-of-the-art generative models, achieving the highest PSNR and SSIM values of 19.04385 and 0.68551, respectively.

  Deep Learning (DL) models have achieved state-of-the-art performance in diagnosing multiple diseases using reconstructed images as input. DL models are sensitive to varying artifacts as it leads to changes in the input data distribution between the training and testing phases. We propose to use other normalization techniques, such as Group Normalization and Layer Normalization, to inject robustness into model performance against varying image artifacts.

  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.

  We propose an End-to-end MultImodal X-ray genERative model (EMIXER) for jointly synthesizing x-ray images and corresponding free-text reports. EMIXER is an conditional generative adversarial model by 1) generating an image based on a label, 2) encoding the image to a hidden embedding, 3) producing the corresponding text via a hierarchical decoder from the image embedding, and 4) a joint discriminator for assessing both the image and the corresponding text. We show that EMIXER generated synthetic datasets can augment X-ray image classification, report generation models to achieve 5.
