Noise-Resilient Clinical Image Generation: Benchmarking Adversarial Robustness of Diffusion Models versus StyleGAN2
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Clinical Image Generation
DOI: https://doi.org/10.64388/IREV7I4-1722524
Abstract
We study adversarial robustness in clinical image generation, benchmarking a denoising diffusion model against StyleGAN2 under projected gradient descent (PGD) and Carlini-Wagner attacks. On lung CT from LIDC-IDRI and brain MRI from ADNI, we quantify how attack strength inflates FID, erodes structural similarity, and drives attack success. The diffusion model exhibits a substantially smaller robustness gap, keeping attack success near 28% where the GAN exceeds 70%.
