Importance of an unlimited source of high quality data for medical tasks

Abstract:

AI in healthcare is limited by the availability of training data. Generative AI has been considered one of the most promising options to overcome critical medical imaging bottlenecks like data scarcity and privacy constraints. By evaluating tasks such as tumour synthesis, reconstruction, and cross-modality translation, this research demonstrates that synthetic data is a powerful augmentation tool that significantly improves model robustness, reduces clinical false negatives, and allows faster diagnosis. While real data remains the gold standard, synthetic generation offers a resource-efficient pathway to viable clinical AI, emphasising the future need for utility-driven metrics and physics-informed training.
