A new research paper introduces MirrorNet, a model that demonstrates medical images can still identify patients even after de-identification. The model, developed using coupled variational autoencoders, can recover a recognizable likeness of a patient from a medical scan and synthesize a scan from a patient-identifying image. These findings suggest that medical imaging data should be treated as biometric data due to its inherent identifying capabilities. AI
