• Abstract: Data scarcity in medical imaging poses significant challenges due to privacy concerns. Diffusion models, a recent generative modeling technique, offer a potential solution by generating synthetic and realistic data. However, questions remain about the performance of convolutional neural network (CNN) models on original and synthetic datasets. If diffusion-generated samples can help CNN models perform comparably to those trained on original datasets, reliance on patient-specific data for training CNNs might be reduced. In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of diffusion models for generating synthetic medical images to train CNNs in three domains: Brain Tumor MRI, Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), and SARS-CoV-2 CT scans. A diffusion model was trained to generate synthetic datasets for each domain. Pre-trained CNN architectures were then trained on these synthetic datasets and evaluated on unseen real data. All three datasets achieved promising classification performance using CNNs trained on synthetic data. Local Interpretable Model-Agnostic Explanations (LIME) analysis revealed that the models focused on relevant image features for classification. This study demonstrates the potential of diffusion models to generate synthetic medical images for training CNNs in medical image analysis.

  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.

  Medical image datasets are essential for training models used in computer-aided diagnosis, treatment planning, and medical research. Some challenges are associated with these datasets, including variability in data distribution, data scarcity, and transfer learning issues when using models pre-trained from generic images. We propose a methodology based on Siamese neural networks in which a series of techniques are integrated to mitigate the effects of data scarcity and distribution imbalance.

  Generative AI models, such as generative adversarial networks (GANs) and diffusion models, can today produce very realistic synthetic images. We show that segmentation networks trained on synthetic images reach Dice scores that are 80% - 90% of Dice scores when training with real images. Our conclusion is that sharing synthetic medical images is a viable option to sharing real images, but that further work is required.
