Researchers have developed a new technique called Feature-Space Candidate Guidance (FSCG) to improve the realism of synthetic ultrasound images generated by diffusion models. While existing methods can create anatomically correct images, they often lack the realistic B-mode appearance shaped by acquisition properties like speckle texture. FSCG, a training-free sampling strategy, addresses this by steering generated images towards the real ultrasound domain using feature-space energy. This approach significantly reduces realism gaps, outperforming standard conditional diffusion sampling and other inference-time guidance methods across multiple datasets. AI
