#: Brain MRI Synthesis with Stable Diffusion (Fine-Tuned with Dataset Prompts) Fine-tuned version of Stable Diffusion v1-4 for brain MRI synthesis. It uses latent diffusion and dataset-specific prompts to generate realistic 256x256 FLAIR brain scans, with control over the dataset style.

This model is a fine-tuned version of Stable Diffusion v1-4 for prompt-conditioned brain MRI image synthesis, trained on 2D FLAIR slices from the SHIFTS, VH, and WMH2017 datasets. It uses latent diffusion to generate realistic 256×256 scans from latent representations of resolution 32×32 and includes special prompt tokens that allow control over the visual style.

🔍 Prompt Conditioning

Each training image was paired with a specific dataset prompt:

"SHIFTS FLAIR MRI"
"VH FLAIR MRI"
"WMH2017 FLAIR MRI"

These prompts were added as new tokens in the tokenizer and trained jointly with the model, enabling conditional generation aligned with dataset distribution.
