#: 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.

✍️ Fine-Tuning Strategy

The text encoder, U-Net, and special prompt embeddings were trained jointly. Images were encoded into 32×32 latent space using a VAE and trained using latent diffusion.
