• Abstract: Stable Diffusion (SD) has gained a lot of attention in recent years in the field of Generative AI thus helping in synthesizing medical imaging data with distinct features. The aim is to contribute to the ongoing effort focused on overcoming the limitations of data scarcity and improving the capabilities of ML algorithms for cardiovascular image processing. Therefore, in this study, the possibility of generating synthetic cardiac CTA images was explored by fine-tuning stable diffusion models based on user defined text prompts, using only limited number of CTA images as input. A comprehensive evaluation of the synthetic data was conducted by incorporating both quantitative analysis and qualitative assessment, where a clinician assessed the quality of the generated data. It has been shown that Cardiac CTA images can be successfully generated using using Text to Image (T2I) stable diffusion model. The results demonstrate that the tuned T2I CTA diffusion model was able to generate images with features that are typically unique to acute type B aortic dissection (TBAD) medical conditions.

  We propose DiffDoctor, a two-stage pipeline to assist image diffusion models in generating fewer artifacts. We collect a dataset of over 1M flawed synthesized images and set up an efficient human-in-the-loop annotation process. The learned artifact detector is then involved in the second stage to tune the diffusion model through assigning a per-pixel confidence map for each image.

  Scaling by training on large datasets has been shown to enhance the quality and fidelity of image generation and manipulation with diffusion models. Latent Drifting enables diffusion models to be conditioned for medical images fitted for the complex task of counterfactual image generation. Our results demonstrate significant performance gains in various scenarios when combined with different fine-tuning schemes.

  Non-contrast CT (NCCT) imaging may reduce image contrast and anatomical visibility, potentially increasing diagnostic uncertainty. We propose a novel Syncretic generative model based on the latent diffusion model for medical image translation (S$2$LDM) S$2$LDM enhances the similarity in distinct modal images via syncretic encoding and diffusing, promoting amalgamated information in the latent space and generating medical images with more details in contrast-enhanced regions.
