用StyleGAN3生成高保真糖尿病视网膜病变早期图像,解决数据不足问题。

Enhancing Early Diabetic Retinopathy Detection through Synthetic DR1 Image Generation: A StyleGAN3 Approach

  • 基于2602张真实图像训练StyleGAN3,生成微动脉瘤特征逼真的合成图像。
  • FID达17.29,优于自举法得出的均值21.18,质量显著提升。
  • 眼科医生评测认为图像逼真,适合用于医学AI模型的数据增强。

糖尿病视网膜病变(DR)是可预防失明的主要原因。在DR1阶段实现早期检测至关重要,但受限于高质量眼底图像稀缺。本研究采用StyleGAN3生成具有高保真度和多样性的合成DR1图像,重点模拟微动脉瘤特征,旨在缓解数据短缺并提升监督分类器性能。使用2,602张DR1图像训练模型,并通过弗雷切特起始距离(FID)、核起始距离(KID)及平移(EQ-T)和旋转(EQ-R)等变性指标进行定量评估。定性评估包括人类图灵测试,由训练过的眼科医生评价合成图像的真实感。谱分析进一步验证了图像质量。最终模型获得FID分数17.29,显著优于自举法得到的均值21.18(95%置信区间:20.83至21.56)。人类图灵测试表明模型生成图像高度逼真,仅边缘处存在轻微伪影。结果表明,StyleGAN3生成的合成DR1图像在扩充训练数据集方面具有巨大潜力,有助于提高糖尿病视网膜病变的早期检测精度。该方法展示了合成数据在医学影像与AI辅助诊断中的应用前景。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of preventable blindness. Early detection at the DR1 stage is critical but is hindered by a scarcity of high-quality fundus images. This study uses StyleGAN3 to generate synthetic DR1 images characterized by microaneurysms with high fidelity and diversity. The aim is to address data scarcity and enhance the performance of supervised classifiers. A dataset of 2,602 DR1 images was used to train the model, followed by a comprehensive evaluation using quantitative metrics, including Frechet Inception Distance (FID), Kernel Inception Distance (KID), and Equivariance with respect to translation (EQ-T) and rotation (EQ-R). Qualitative assessments included Human Turing tests, where trained ophthalmologists evaluated the realism of synthetic images. Spectral analysis further validated image quality. The model achieved a final FID score of 17.29, outperforming the mean FID of 21.18 (95 percent confidence interval - 20.83 to 21.56) derived from bootstrap resampling. Human Turing tests demonstrated the model's ability to produce highly realistic images, though minor artifacts near the borders were noted. These findings suggest that StyleGAN3-generated synthetic DR1 images hold significant promise for augmenting training datasets, enabling more accurate early detection of Diabetic Retinopathy. This methodology highlights the potential of synthetic data in advancing medical imaging and AI-driven diagnostics.
