A novel artificial intelligence approach can generate 3D brain MRI images using semantic segmentation masks, offering a breakthrough in medical image synthesis and privacy protection.
This new diffusion model, called Med-DDPM, was introduced by a team of researchers from Taiwan, led by Dr. Furen Xiao from National Taiwan University and Dr. Hsing-Kuo Pao from National Taiwan University of Science and Technology.
The study was recently published in the IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics.
Medical imaging is crucial for health care, yet AI applications in this area are often limited by data scarcity and patient privacy concerns. The Med-DDPM model addresses these challenges through “semantic conditioning,” a method that incorporates pixel-level mask images into the diffusion process to guide...
