Hey doc, I've been feeling really out of breath lately,
especially when I'm walking up a flight of stairs or doing some light exercise.
It's like my chest gets tight and I can't catch my breath.
I've also been coughing up some stuff that's not quite right, it's been a few weeks now.
And I've noticed a bit of weight loss, I'm not sure if that's related but it's been on my mind.
I've been to a few doctors already, but they haven't been able to figure out what's going on.
I'm hoping you can help.

# Symptom-to-Medical-Image Generator
This project introduces a **text-to-image diffusion model** fine-tuned using **LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation)** on top of [`CompVis/stable-diffusion-v1-4`](https://huggingface.co/CompVis/stable-diffusion-v1-4) for the task of **medical image generation**. The model generates **X-ray**, **CT**, or **MRI** scans based on **natural language descriptions of patient symptoms**, offering a novel way to visualize potential diagnostic outcomes.
---
## What Is This Model?
This is a **domain-adapted diffusion model** tailored to generate realistic medical scans conditioned on symptom prompts. The model was fine-tuned using LoRA, which allowed for:
* Efficient training without modifying the original model weights.
* Adaptation to a smaller, highly-specialized medical dataset.
* Retention of high-quality generative capabilities from the base model.
### Key Features
* **Symptom-to-scan generation**: Input symptoms in plain English and receive a plausible X-ray, CT, or MRI image.
* **Multi-modality support**: Generate different types of scans (e.g., chest X-rays, brain MRIs) depending on the prompt context.
* **High realism**: Outputs are visually realistic and follow anatomical structure, trained using real medical datasets.

## When Can You Use This Model?
### Use Cases
| Application Area | Description |
| ------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Medical Research** | Generate datasets for hypothesis testing or model training without using real patient data. |
| **Education & Training** | Teach students about correlations between symptoms and imaging in an interactive way. |
| **AI-Aided Prototyping** | Test downstream diagnostic pipelines on synthetic but realistic image data. |
| **Data Augmentation** | Enrich datasets for training classification/segmentation models. |
| **Prompt-Based Exploration** | Investigate how changes in symptoms affect image generation (e.g., how “fever + cough” differs from “chest pain + shortness of breath”). |
### Not for Use In:
* Real-world **clinical diagnosis or decision-making**
* Generating scans for real patients or influencing treatment
* Bypassing ethical or regulatory controls in medical AI

## Example Usage
### Input Prompt:
> "I've been feeling really out of breath lately, especially when I'm walking up a flight of stairs or doing some light exercise. It's like my chest gets tight and I can't catch my breath. "
### Output:

> The model generates a chest X-ray image that corresponds to symptoms of a potential pulmonary issue.

## Under the Hood
* **Base Model**: `CompVis/stable-diffusion-v1-4`
* **Fine-tuning Method**: LoRA (efficient, parameter-light adaptation)
* **Dataset**: Custom dataset of symptom-to-image pairs, curated for medical imaging consistency
* **Framework**: PyTorch + 🤗 Diffusers + Hugging Face Spaces
