| Sumario: | Abstract Generative adversarial network (GAN) creates synthetic images to increase data quantity, but whether GAN ensures meaningful morphologic variations is still unknown. We investigated whether GAN-based synthetic images provide sufficient morphologic variations to improve molecular-based prediction, as a rare disease of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-mutant glioblastomas. GAN was initially trained on 500 normal brains and 110 IDH-mutant high-grade astocytomas, and paired contrast-enhanced T1-weighted and FLAIR MRI data were generated. Diagnostic models were developed from real IDH-wild type (n = 80) with real IDH-mutant glioblastomas (n = 38), or with synthetic IDH-mutant glioblastomas, or augmented by adding both real and synthetic IDH-mutant glioblastomas. Turing tests showed synthetic data showed reality (classification rate of 55%). Both the real and synthetic data showed that a more frontal or insular location (odds ratio [OR] 1.34 vs. 1.52; P = 0.04) and distinct non-enhancing tumor margins (OR 2.68 vs. 3.88; P < 0.001), which become significant predictors of IDH-mutation. In an independent validation set, diagnostic accuracy was higher for the augmented model (90.9% [40/44] and 93.2% [41/44] for each reader, respectively) than for the real model (84.1% [37/44] and 86.4% [38/44] for each reader, respectively). The GAN-based synthetic images yield morphologically variable, realistic-seeming IDH-mutant glioblastomas. GAN will be useful to create a realistic training set in terms of morphologic variations and quality, thereby improving diagnostic performance in a clinical model. |
