Synthetic Tumor Manipulation: With Radiomics Features

Nov 05, 2023
Inye Na, Jonghun Kim, Hyunjin Park

We introduce RadiomicsFill, a synthetic tumor generator conditioned on radiomics features, enabling detailed control and individual manipulation of tumor subregions. This conditioning leverages conventional high-dimensional features of the tumor (i.e., radiomics features) and thus is biologically well-grounded. Our model combines generative adversarial networks, radiomics-feature conditioning, and multi-task learning. Through experiments with glioma patients, RadiomicsFill demonstrated its capability to generate diverse, realistic tumors and its fine-tuning ability for specific radiomics features like 'Pixel Surface' and 'Shape Sphericity'. The ability of RadiomicsFill to generate an unlimited number of realistic synthetic tumors offers notable prospects for both advancing medical imaging research and potential clinical applications.

Multi-modal images play a crucial role in comprehensive evaluations in medical image analysis providing complementary information for identifying clinically important biomarkers. However, in clinical practice, acquiring multiple modalities can be challenging due to reasons such as scan cost, limited scan time, and safety considerations. In this paper, we propose a model based on the latent diffusion model (LDM) that leverages switchable blocks for image-to-image translation in 3D medical images without patch cropping. The 3D LDM combined with conditioning using the target modality allows generating high-quality target modality in 3D overcoming the shortcoming of the missing out-of-slice information in 2D generation methods. The switchable block, noted as multiple switchable spatially adaptive normalization (MS-SPADE), dynamically transforms source latents to the desired style of the target latents to help with the diffusion process. The MS-SPADE block allows us to have one single model to tackle many translation tasks of one source modality to various targets removing the need for many translation models for different scenarios. Our model exhibited successful image synthesis across different source-target modality scenarios and surpassed other models in quantitative evaluations tested on multi-modal brain magnetic resonance imaging datasets of four different modalities and an independent IXI dataset. Our model demonstrated successful image synthesis across various modalities even allowing for one-to-many modality translations. Furthermore, it outperformed other one-to-one translation models in quantitative evaluations.
