How does the concept of “model as a dataset” reshape traditional data-sharing practices in medical imaging?
|
3. It enables sharing of learned model weights instead of sensitive raw images. |
|
The “model as a dataset” means that hospitals do not need to share real patient images, which are sensitive and protected. Instead, they can share the trained model weights, which contain the patterns and knowledge the model learned from those images. By using the model itself as the shared “data,” institutions can collaborate without exposing private medical information, making data sharing safer and much easier. |
the concept means replacing direct sharing of patient images with sharing model parameters that have learned patterns from data |

Why is “mode collapse” considered a critical problem in GAN-based medical image synthesis?
|
2. It reduces image realism and variety by producing repetitive outputs. |
|
Mode collapse happens when a GAN’s generator keeps producing very similar or identical images, instead of the full range of realistic variations found in real medical data. In medicine, this is a big problem because: It lowers realism It misses important clinical variations (example for different tumor shapes, sizes, textures) it weakens the use of the synthetic Dataset. |
Their goal is to create diverse and realistic images. If the model collapses and only outputs the same pattern, it fails this goal. |

Why are healthcare-specific metrics preferred over general-purpose metrics such as FID or SSIM?
|
2. They better capture clinical accuracy and diagnostic relevance. |
|
Healthcare-specific metrics are better because they measure whether an image is medically correct and useful for diagnosis, while general metrics like FID or SSIM only judge how similar or visually good the image looks. |
It directly says that healthcare metrics measure what really matters for medicine, not just visual similarity. |

What does the article identify as the key tension between privacy preservation and image fidelity?
|
1. Higher realism may risk reproducing identifiable patient data. |
|
The more realistic a synthetic medical image becomes, the higher the risk that it accidentally recreates details from real patients, which threatens privacy. |
Realistic medical images can accidentally include tiny details from real patients, so they can risk privacy. The other options aren’t correct because: privacy doesn’t always reduce accuracy, image-quality scores don’t prove privacy is safe, encryption can’t stop every risk, and privacy and realism are connected. |

Why is the FDA’s approval of synthetic MRI technology significant for future AI-generated data?
|
It establishes a framework for validating synthetic data equivalence in clinical use. |
|
The FDA approval matters because it creates an official way to show that synthetic medical images are safe and close enough to real ones for clinical use. This builds trust for future AI-generated data in healthcare. |
The approval gives a formal validation framework, meaning a trusted method for proving synthetic data is clinically acceptable. |

Which strategy would best mitigate demographic bias in generative models according to the article?
|
2. Applying diversity-aware training and fairness constraints |
|
This strategy works because it makes the model learn from a balanced, many dataset and adds rules that keep it from favoring one group over another. |

How do DDPMs exemplify versatility in healthcare image synthesis?
|
2. They can perform multiple tasks such as denoising, inpainting, and anomaly detection without retraining. |
|
DDPMs are flexible because once they’re trained, they can handle many different image-related tasks such as cleaning noisy scans, filling in missing parts, or spotting unusual patterns. |
DDPMs are not limited to one modality, don’t depend only on text, don’t need constant supervision, and can model complex medical patterns. |

What analytical insight does the article provide about integrating AI-generated medical images into education and research?
|
2. It enhances training by providing diverse, realistic datasets without ethical breaches. |
|
synthetic medical images can give students and researchers a wide range of realistic examples without exposing real patient data. This makes learning safer, and more accessible. |
synthetic data does not lower standards, isn’t limited to one education level, doesn’t replace real radiology, and does not fully remove the need for real patients in all studies. |

Why is regional calibration essential when applying risk prediction models across countries?
|
2. To adjust for population-specific incidence and lifestyle differences |
|
Risk prediction models don’t work the same everywhere because different countries have different disease rates, diets, environments, healthcare access, and lifestyle patterns. Regional calibration adjusts the model so it matches the local population’s real risks. |
alibration doesn’t standardize lab tests, can’t remove genetics, doesn’t force identical cutoffs, and isn’t about WHO rules. |

What analytical conclusion can be drawn when comparing the China-PAR and Framingham models?
|
2. China-PAR uses local epidemiological data, leading to improved predictive validity. |
|
The China-PAR model was developed using data from Chinese populations, so it reflects local risk factors and lifestyles better. This makes it more accurate for predicting cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in Chinese or East Asian populations. The Framingham model was based on a U.S. (mostly White) population, so it often overestimates risk in East Asians. |
China PAR ; It highlights that using local data improves prediction. |

What analytical limitation arises when using Western-derived coefficients in East Asian models?
|
2. It introduces systematic overestimation of ASCVD probability. |
|
Western models (like Framingham) were developed from mostly westerns with different genetics, lifestyles, and diet. Applying their coefficients to East Asian populations often overestimates the risk of ASCVD because the baseline risk is lower in these populations. |
Using the numbers from Western models in East Asian populations often overestimates the risk. |

What policy implication can be derived from country-specific risk models?
|
1. They allow for targeted national prevention programs. |
|
Risk models based on local data reflect the specific health risks of that country’s population. This helps governments design prevention programs that focus on the people who need it most, like controlling blood pressure or promoting healthier diets. |
Example of China-PAR study Showed that using China-specific risk data predicted cardiovascular events better than the Framingham model, allowing better prevention planning. |

If a model excludes socioeconomic variables, what analytical consequence might occur?
|
2. Ignored non-biological determinants of disease |
|
Factors like income, education, and occupation affect health, they influence diet, access to healthcare, stress, and lifestyle. |
If a model excludes these variables, it only looks at biological factors (like blood pressure or cholesterol) and misses important social influences on disease risk. |

How might AI improve next-generation ASCVD risk prediction in East Asia?
|
2. By integrating multimodal data, including imaging and lifestyle information |
|
AI can handle lots of different types of information at once, like lab tests, heart scans, diet, exercise, and habits. |
This lets it predict cardiovascular risk more accurately than just using traditional numbers like age or cholesterol. |

What conclusion can be drawn from comparing Mongolia’s and South Korea’s CVD mortality rates?
|
1. Mortality differences reflect varying effectiveness of national prevention programs. |
|
South Korea has lower CVD death rates than Mongolia. This likely shows that South Korea’s healthcare and prevention programs (like screening, healthy lifestyle promotion, and treatment) are more effective. |
Populations with better preventive care (screening, early treatment, healthy lifestyle promotion) generally have lower disease mortality. |

What is the most logical future direction for improving ASCVD models across East Asia?
|
1. Establishing multinational data-sharing platforms to harmonize regional models |
|
Different East Asian countries have slightly different genetics, lifestyles, and healthcare systems, so risk models need to reflect that. Sharing data across countries allows researchers to combine knowledge, improve accuracy, and create models that work well region-wide |
Sharing data between countries helps make smarter, more accurate risk models for everyone in the region. |

According to the “image generation trilemma” shown in the figure, what analytical conclusion can be drawn about the relative strengths of VAEs, GANs, and DDPMs in medical image synthesis?
|
2. GANs provide a between image quality and diversity but may suffer from mode collapse. |
|
VAEs is Good at generating diverse images but often blurry, so lower quality. GANs Generate high-quality images and reasonable diversity, but sometimes mode collapse happens (they produce limited variations). DDMPs Produce very realistic images, but are slower and computationally heavy. |
DDPMs are chosen for accuracy and realism, but they take more time and computer power, so they’re not perfect in every aspect. |

Based on Figure, what analytical conclusion can be drawn regarding the distribution of cardiovascular disease (CVD) subtypes across East Asian countries?
|
1. Ischemic heart disease (IHD) accounts for a higher proportion of CVD deaths in Japan and South Korea compared with China, suggesting regional lifestyle or prevention differences. |
|
Data shows that the types of cardiovascular disease (like stroke vs. ischemic heart disease) differ between countries. Japan and South Korea tend to have lower stroke deaths and higher heart disease proportion compared with China.These differences likely reflect variations in diet, healthcare, prevention programs, and lifestyle habits between the countries. |
The pattern of CVD subtypes reveals how lifestyle and prevention influence disease outcomes regionally. |
