Generative Adversarial Networks for Neuroimage Translation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Image-to-image translation has gained popularity in the medical field to transform images from one domain to another. Medical image synthesis via domain transformation is advantageous in its ability to augment an image dataset where images for a given class are limited. From the learning perspective, this process contributes to the data-oriented robustness of the model by inherently broadening the model’s exposure to more diverse visual data and enabling it to learn more generalized features. In the case of generating additional neuroimages, it is advantageous to obtain unidentifiable medical data and augment smaller annotated datasets. This study proposes the development of a cycle-consistent generative adversarial network (CycleGAN) model for translating neuroimages from one field strength to another (e.g., 3 Tesla [T] to 1.5 T). This model was compared with a model based on a deep convolutional GAN model architecture. CycleGAN was able to generate the synthetic and reconstructed images with reasonable accuracy. The mapping function from the source (3 T) to the target domain (1.5 T) performed optimally with an average peak signal-to-noise ratio value of 25.69 ± 2.49 dB and a mean absolute error value of 2106.27 ± 1218.37. The codes for this study have been made publicly available in the following GitHub repository.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
