arXiv:2606.28684v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Causally linking disease-related factors to image-derived biomarkers provides a powerful pathway to understanding disease mechanisms. Despite growing interest in applying causal artificial intelligence (AI) approaches for this task, these methods still need to be adapted for complex medical images, and especially, neuroimaging. However, the lack of ground-truth data presents a barrier to development. To bridge this gap, we developed and tested a method for generating synthetic neuroimages, which adhere to a user-specified causal structure descr
The increasing interest in causal AI and its application to complex medical data, particularly neuroimaging, is driving the need for robust evaluation frameworks.
This development addresses a critical barrier in causal AI research by providing synthetic ground-truth data, enabling more rigorous development and validation of AI models in medical science.
The ability to generate synthetic neuroimages with specified causal structures allows for systematic testing and improvement of AI models, accelerating their adaptation for complex medical applications.
