arXiv:2607.02998v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Controllable generative models of 3D medical images can synthesize volumes with specified clinical attributes, but this demands samples that are simultaneously high-fidelity, natively 3D, and faithful to the requested conditioning. We present CONFLUX, a latent diffusion model for chest computed tomography (CT): a 3D variational autoencoder compresses each volume, and a rectified-flow transformer generates in the latent space. Generation is conditioned on structured radiological metadata (18 abnormality findings, sex, age, and reconstruction ker
Advances in generative AI models, specifically latent diffusion, are reaching a maturity that allows for high-fidelity 3D medical image synthesis.
Controllable 3D medical image synthesis has significant implications for medical research, education, and potentially for diagnostics and treatment planning, accelerating innovation in healthcare AI.
The ability to generate synthetic yet clinically accurate 3D medical images with specified attributes reduces the reliance on real patient data, often scarce and privacy-sensitive.
