Semi-supervised mp-MRI data synthesis with StitchLayer and auxiliary distance maximization

The availability of a large amount of annotated data is critical for many medical image analysis applications, in particular for those relying on deep learning methods which are known to be data-hungry. However, annotated medical data, especially multimodal data, is often scarce and costly to obtain. In this paper, we address the problem of synthesizing multi-parameter magnetic resonance imaging data (i.e. mp-MRI), which typically consists of...
