Researchers have developed a conditional generative model to create synthetic T2-weighted (T2W) prostate MRI images, aiming to address the scarcity of representative training data for clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) classification. The model, an extension of MAISI-v2, incorporates csPCa class, zonal, and lesion-mask guidance, achieving a significant reduction in Fréchet inception distance (FID) from 13.28 to 2.04. When used to augment training data, these synthetic images improved the AUC of T2W-based csPCa classifiers across various simulated scenarios, though the benefits did not consistently transfer across different institutions.

IMPACT Synthetic MRI generation could significantly improve AI model training for rare disease detection, potentially leading to earlier and more accurate diagnoses.
