Revolutionizing Medical Data Synthesis with Conditional StyleGAN
Addressing the critical bottleneck of data scarcity and imbalance in medical AI, this research introduces a novel conditional StyleGAN architecture. It synthesizes high-resolution, clinically plausible images of colorectal neoplasms, overcoming the limitations of traditional data augmentation.
21.79
State-of-the-Art FID Score
Our Conditional StyleGAN achieved an FID score of 21.79, demonstrating superior synthetic image quality compared to benchmarks like StyleGAN2 (24.9) and PGGAN (34.9). This quantitative validation confirms the high fidelity and realism of the generated data, crucial for effective medical AI training.
Significant Gains in Polyp Detection Accuracy and Recall
By augmenting YOLOv5 detection models with our high-fidelity synthetic data, this study achieved substantial improvements in detection accuracy, particularly for difficult-to-spot lesions. The hybrid augmentation strategy, combining generative and traditional methods, yielded the best results.
| Experimental Group | Precision | Recall | F1 Score | mAP@0.5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Baseline (Real Data Only) | 0.89 | 0.85 | 0.87 | 0.86 |
| Traditional Augmentation | 0.90 | 0.88 | 0.89 | 0.89 |
| GAN-based Augmentation | 0.91 | 0.92 | 0.91 | 0.92 |
| Hybrid Augmentation | 0.92 | 0.93 | 0.92 | 0.93 |
0.87
Recall for Challenging Lesions
For critical flat and depressed lesions, often missed by human endoscopists, our hybrid model achieved a recall of 0.87, a significant 15 percentage point increase over the baseline (0.72). This directly translates to earlier detection of high-risk precursors.
Bridging the Generalization Gap: Robust AI for Diverse Clinical Settings
A critical challenge in medical AI is performance degradation on unseen data (domain shift). Our generative augmentation strategy markedly reduced this generalization gap, equipping models to perform reliably across different hospitals and endoscopy hardware.
