This study examined whether augmenting brain tumor MRI datasets with class‑specific DCGAN‑generated images improves classification performance. Using 7,200 scans across four tumor categories, a Swin Transformer classifier trained on real images alone achieved 96% accuracy, identical to the model trained with 500 synthetic images per class. Metrics such as macro F1 and ROC‑AUC showed no improvement, and FID scores indicated substantial distributional differences between real and synthetic images.

arXiv:2606. 15457v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: 3D FLAIR MRI is widely recommended as one of the standard MRI sequences for brain imaging in multiple sclerosis (MS), but publicly available MS datasets remain relatively small and vary across scanners, acquisition protocols, and lesion patterns.

The study introduces a voxel-spacing-aware radiomic framework that incorporates physical geometry into texture computation without resampling, modifying PyRadiomics to preserve native image signals. Four extraction configurations—native non-resampled (NR), isotropic resampling (RS), voxel-spacing-aware (VS), and fake-isotropic preprocessing (FK)—were compared across 685 CT pulmonary nodules and 209 MRI breast cases, evaluating 196 radiomic descriptors. Results show that VS closely matches NR (median ICC(A,1) ≈0.998) while RS and FK exhibit lower agreement, indicating that spacing metadata alone can significantly influence radiomic features.

MIRTO is an evaluation protocol for unsupervised anomaly segmentation in brain MRI that explicitly documents key methodological choices—such as registration alignment, threshold setting, and false‑positive budgeting—and measures their impact. It applies a registration check, uses validation data for thresholding, reports realized false‑positive volumes, and repeats each comparison across 15,552 evaluation pipelines with bootstrap intervals. In a study on four UAD methods and 312 BraTS 2020 subjects, MIRTO revealed that an axis‑order mismatch dramatically lowered a diffusion model’s voxel AUROC, and that many performance differences were driven by lesion definition and threshold transfer rather than model quality.

Validating Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) methods in medical imaging requires ground-truth data with known locations of informative features. However, current approaches rely on expert annotations, which are prone to labeling errors, or on hand-crafted artificial perturbations superimposed onto healthy images to mimic lesions or malignant features, which lack clinical realism.
