Narrative review of generative adversarial networks in medical and molecular imaging.

ABSTRACT: Recent years have witnessed a rapidly expanding use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in medical imaging. Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are techniques to synthesize images based on artificial neural networks and deep learning. In addition to the flexibility and versatility inherent in deep learning on which the GANs are based, the potential problem-solving ability of the GANs has attracted attention and is being vigorously studied in the medical and molecular imaging fields. Here this narrative review provides a comprehensive overview for GANs and discuss their usefulness in medical and molecular imaging on the following topics: (I) data augmentation to increase training data for AI-based computer-aided diagnosis as a solution for the data-hungry nature of such train
