Using Latent Diffusion Models to generate synthetic images from high-resolution 3D brain images
Brain Imaging Generation with Latent Diffusion Models
In this study, we explore using latent diffusion models to generate synthetic images from high-resolution 3d brain images.
We used high-resolution 3d brain images from the uk biobankdataset (n=31,740) to train our models to learn about the probabilistic distribution of brain images, conditioned on covariables, such as age, sex, and brain structure volumes.
We found that our models created realistic data, and we could use the conditioning variables to control the data generation effectively.
Besides that, we created a synthetic dataset with 100,000 brainimages and made it openly available to the scientific community.
