arXiv:2608. 03990v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Synthetic histopathology image generation has emerged as an approach that may address data scarcity in computational pathology, yet current evaluation methodologies may not fully assess synthetic data quality for medical applications.

The paper introduces "Destroy Me", a hybrid framework that generates realistic histopathology artifacts using Stable Diffusion and physics‑based modeling to create six common artifact types. Artifact realism is evaluated with KID and color Wasserstein metrics, and models trained on these augmented images outperform baselines on lung adenocarcinoma classification, achieving a 10.5% relative boost in macro F1‑score and a 15% increase in Cohen’s Kappa. The study highlights that selective, impact‑weighted augmentation is essential for enhancing robustness while preserving subtle diagnostic features.

The paper presents a systematic evaluation of six unsupervised image‑to‑image generative models for virtual Sirius Red staining of mouse liver tissue from routine H&E slides. It benchmarks these models across 54 scaling configurations on a newly released paired H&E‑to‑SR dataset, assessing perceptual, distributional, and task‑specific performance, and further trains the best models into deep ensembles to quantify epistemic uncertainty. The study finds that GAN‑based and diffusion‑based methods differ markedly across these metrics, indicating that reliable virtual staining requires reporting and selecting on all three axes simultaneously.
