Synthetic Medical Images: A Double-Edged Sword in Healthcare
Synthetic medical images are generated using AI techniques such as generative adversarial networks (GANs), diffusion models, and autoencoders. These methods create entirely new medical scans that mimic real images but are not derived from actual patient data. This technology is akin to AI-generated images of non-existent people, offering a scalable and ethical alternative to real-world…
