Adding 913 conditional-GAN simulated ganglionic tiles to 461 real ganglionic and 1374 real aganglionic FCM tiles improved a CNN's ability to discriminate ganglionic bowel on an independent real-image test set of 590 aganglionic and 198 ganglionic tiles, raising accuracy from 75% to 84% and sensitivity from 78% to 91% .
Researchers evaluated whether synthetic fluorescence confocal microscopy images generated by a conditional generative adversarial network could improve deep-learning detection of ganglionic bowel during surgery for Hirschsprung Disease. Using real intraoperative FCM tiles collected from November 2024 to November 2025, they compared CNNs trained on real data alone versus real data plus cGAN-simulated ganglionic tiles versus real data plus conventional augmentation, testing all models on an independent set of real tiles.
