E169 | Scaling Life-Saving AI Through Synthetic Imaging
This episode dives deep into how synthetic medical imaging is revolutionizing the development of AI in healthcare. Rayan Sadri, founder and CEO of Carez AI, explains how his team uses diffusion models and GANs to create fully anonymized, regulator-friendly datasets that dramatically accelerate the development of diagnostic tools - even for rare conditions and underserved populations.
Discover how synthetic data eliminates the bottlenecks of traditional medical datasets by solving challenges around privacy, annotation costs, data scarcity, and demographic bias. From MRI and CT scans to X-rays, ultrasound, and RF signal data, learn how this technology enables faster, safer, and more inclusive AI model training.
Whether you're building healthcare AI products, optimizing clinical research pipelines, or scaling life sciences innovation, this conversation uncovers practical, scalable strategies for deploying high-quality synthetic datasets that meet clinical standards and regulatory requirements.
In this episode, we discuss:
- What is synthetic imaging and how it differs from traditional datasets
- The four-step process of creating medically accurate synthetic images
- Balancing visual quality, anatomical accuracy, and data diversity
- Addressing data bottlenecks in medical AI development
- FDA perspectives on synthetic data and regulatory compliance
- Applications of synthetic data in reducing contrast media risks
- Conditional generation for underrepresented patient demographics
- Ethical concerns: privacy, bias, traceability, and clinical relevance
- How synthetic data empowers faster and more inclusive AI breakthroughs
- The future of AI and synthetic imaging in global healthcare
This episode is tailored for Medical AI startups and healthtech founders, clinical researchers and radiologists, AI engineers and data scientists in life sciences, digital health policy makers and FDA collaborators, academic researchers exploring synthetic data applications and Investors and stakeholders in health innovation
