Researchers have developed DualDiT, a novel conditional dual-output Diffusion Transformer designed for generating both optical coherence tomography (OCT) images and their corresponding segmentation masks. This approach aims to address the scarcity of annotated medical imaging data, particularly for mouse eye OCT scans where manual segmentation is time-consuming. DualDiT encodes both image and mask modalities into a shared latent space, enabling joint synthesis and outperforming existing diffusion models like DDPM and LDM in generative quality and perceptual realism, as validated by domain experts. The synthetic data generated by DualDiT also proved effective in augmenting downstream segmentation tasks, improving performance metrics. AI
