Visually-Guided Controllable Medical Image Generation via Fine-Grained Semantic Disentanglement
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
Medical image synthesis is crucial for alleviating data scarcity and privacy constraints. However, fine-tuning general text-to-image (T2I) models remains challenging, mainly due to the significant modality gap between complex visual details and abstract clinical text. In addition, semantic entanglement persists, where coarse-grained text embeddings blur the boundary between anatomical structures and imaging styles, thus weakening controllability during generation. To address this, we propose a Visually-Guided Text Disentanglement framework. We introduce a cross-modal latent alignment mechanism that leverages visual priors to explicitly disentangle unstructured text into independent semantic representations. Subsequently, a Hybrid Feature Fusion Module (HFFM) injects these features into a Diffusion Transformer (DiT) through separated channels, enabling fine-grained structural control. Experimental results in three datasets demonstrate that our method outperforms existing approaches in terms of generation quality and significantly improves performance on downstream classification tasks.
