Generative AI for medical imaging analysis and applications

Abstract

Generative AI plays a pivotal role in medical imaging analysis, enabling precise diagnosis, treatment planning and disease monitoring. Techniques like generative adversarial networks (GANs) and variational autoencoders (VAEs) enhance medical imaging by generating synthetic images, improving reconstruction, segmentation and facilitating disease diagnosis and treatment planning. Nonetheless, ethical, legal and regulatory concerns arise regarding patient privacy, data protection and fairness. This paper offers an overview of generative AI in medical imaging analysis, highlighting applications, challenges and case studies. It compares results with traditional methods and examines potential implications on healthcare policies. The paper concludes with recommendations for responsible implementation and suggests future research and development directions.
