Diffusion models advance medical image inpainting, survey finds

A recent survey paper published on arXiv details the advancements and challenges in using diffusion models for medical image inpainting. The paper systematically reviews 60 studies, highlighting the growing research interest and the effectiveness of models like denoising diffusion probabilistic models and latent diffusion models in reconstructing missing or corrupted medical image data. While these models show strong performance in applications such as artifact removal and data augmentation, particularly in MRI and CT scans, the survey also identifies critical challenges including the absence of standardized benchmarks, limited dataset diversity, and insufficient validation across various clinical scenarios.

    Image Inpainting via Stochastic Dynamics

    arXiv:2607.24140v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Image inpainting aims to recover missing regions while preserving structural consistency. We propose a non-parametric method without network training based on data-guided stochastic dynamics. Starting from a masked image, the missin…
