SynthMed Retina — HPP I2I Sample
A sample of 2,500 synthetic retinal fundus images generated via image-to-image (I2I) diffusion from the Human Phenotype Project (10K) cohort, paired with anonymized patient metadata.
Images were produced with the `hpp-retina` LoRA adapter at a fixed I2I strength of 0.5, which trades off structural fidelity against re-identification risk (see the paper for the full privacy–utility curve).
Columns
Note on missing values: raw label columns usenull; the normalized*_normcolumns use-1.0as a sentinel for missing values.
Note on gender encoding:gender=0→ female,gender=1→ male (consistent withgender_catclass index 0 = female, 1 = male).
Generation Details
Source images are retinal fundus photographs from the HPP 10K cohort. Each source image was processed once (unique source → unique synthetic image).
Quick Start
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("doronys/synthmed-retina-hpp-sample", split="train")
# Each example has an 'image' (PIL.Image) plus all metadata columns
example = ds[0]
print(example["prompt"]) # "retina fundoscopy right eye dilated age=47 gender=female bp systolic=105"
print(example["age"]) # 47.0
example["image"].show()About
These images were produced as part of a study evaluating I2I diffusion as a practical approach to medical image de-identification. Key findings:
- I2I outperforms T2I on pixel/perceptual fidelity and biomarker agreement at all conditioning strengths.
- At strength = 0.5: top-1 re-identification rate drops to ~20% while biomarker agreement (hemoglobin, Pearson r) remains ~0.7.
- Cross-cohort transfer: classifiers pretrained on I2I synthetic retinal images perform comparably to real-image pretraining when fine-tuning on UK Biobank data.
