Anonymous Gastritis Image Generation via Adversarial Learning from Gastric X-Ray Images

Abstract

This paper presents an anonymous gastritis image generation method based on a generative adversarial network approach. Since clinical individual data include highly confidential information, they must be handled carefully. Although data sharing is demanded to construct large-scale medical image datasets for deep learning-based recognition tasks, managing and annotating these data have been conducted manually. The proposed method enables the generation of anonymous images by an adversarial learning approach. Experimental results show that generated images by our method contribute to a gastritis recognition task. This will be helpful for constructing large-scale medical image datasets effectively.
