Distinguishing real from fake in the age of synthetic images

Amid headlines about artificial intelligence’s implications for everything from education to the future of work itself, Abhinav Jha, an assistant professor of biomedical engineering at the McKelvey School of Engineering and of radiology at the School of Medicine, both at Washington University in St. Louis, and his collaborators developed and evaluated two methods to quantitatively determine the realism of synthetic, or computer-generated medical images. The findings were published in the journal Physics in Medicine & Biology.
