Cover Story: Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have become increasingly powerful, generating photorealistic images. One recurrent theme in medical imaging is whether GANs can be effective at generating workable medical data. We performed a multi-GAN (from basic DCGAN to more sophisticated GANs) and multi-application study by measuring the segmentation accuracy of a U-Net trained on generated images for three imaging modalities and three organs. The results reveal that GANs are far from being equal. Only the top-performing GANs are capable of generating realistic-looking medical images that can fool trained experts in a visual Turing test and comply to some metrics. However, segmentation results suggest that no GAN can supplant the richness of the dataset it was trained on. View this paper
