The paper introduces StyleGANCA, a lightweight neural cellular automata (NCA) based generative adversarial network designed for medical image synthesis. By combining a StyleGAN-inspired mapping network with adaptive style modulation in a multi-scale NCA framework, the model achieves high-quality image generation with far fewer parameters than existing adversarial, variational, diffusion, and NCA baselines. Experiments on BloodMNIST and PathMNIST show competitive FID and KID scores, and the synthetic images preserve class-specific information, effectively supporting downstream multi-class classifier training.

Synthetic healthcare data are widely proposed as privacy-preserving substitutes for real patient data, yet their evaluation remains dominated by statistical similarity and predictive performance that do not reflect clinical validity. We introduce a multi-dimensional evaluation framework grounded in epidemiology, assessing descriptive fidelity, clinical utility, and structural validity, corresponding to descriptive, predictive, and causal questions.
