Realistic noise synthesis reduces bias and improves tissue microstructure estimation with supervised machine learning
arXiv:2606.02044v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion MRI enables non-invasive probing of tissue microstructure, but accurate parameter estimation is challenged by noise-related effects. In supervised machine learning frameworks trained on simulated data, discrepancies between the noise characteristics of simulated and acquired signals introduce a form of covariate shift, whereby the input signal distribution differs between training and inference. We investigated the impact of this mismatch on microstructure parameter estimation and propose a realistic noise synthesis (RNS) framework to m
The increasing sophistication of machine learning in scientific and medical applications is highlighting the critical need for realistic data simulation to bridge the gap between theoretical models and real-world noisy data.
Improving the accuracy of AI models in interpreting medical imaging directly impacts diagnostic capabilities, treatment planning, and the reliability of AI in critical healthcare applications.
The proposed Realistic Noise Synthesis (RNS) framework suggests a practical method to reduce bias and improve the robustness of machine learning models used in complex data analysis, particularly in fields like medical imaging.
