• Abstract summary: Ultra-Resolution Cascaded Diffusion Models (URCDMs) are capable of synthesising entire histopathology images at high resolutions. We evaluate our method on three separate datasets, consisting of brain, breast and kidney tissue. URCDMs consistently generate outputs across various resolutions that trained evaluators cannot distinguish from real images.

• Abstract: Diagnosing medical conditions from histopathology data requires a thorough analysis across the various resolutions of Whole Slide Images (WSI). However, existing generative methods fail to consistently represent the hierarchical structure of WSIs due to a focus on high-fidelity patches. To tackle this, we propose Ultra-Resolution Cascaded Diffusion Models (URCDMs) which are capable of synthesising entire histopathology images at high resolutions whilst authentically capturing the details of both the underlying anatomy and pathology at all magnification levels. We evaluate our method on three separate datasets, consisting of brain, breast and kidney tissue, and surpass existing state-of-the-art multi-resolution models. Furthermore, an expert evaluation study was conducted, demonstrating that URCDMs consistently generate outputs across various resolutions that trained evaluators cannot distinguish from real images. All code and additional examples can be found on GitHub.

  Tri-modal medical image fusion can provide a more comprehensive view of the disease's shape, location, and biological activity. Due to the limitations of imaging equipment and considerations for patient safety, the quality of medical images is usually limited. There is an urgent need for a technology that can both enhance image resolution and integrate multi-modal information.

  We introduce hierarchical granularity discrimination, which exploits various levels of semantic information present in medical images. Our strategy utilizes three levels of discrimination granularity: pixel-level discrimination using a Brain Memory Bank, structure-level discrimination on each brain structure with a re-weighting strategy to focus on hard samples. Our model may offer an alternative solution in scenarios where specific MR modalities of patients are unavailable.

  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.
