Abstract

In recent years, Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) have underlined the necessity for exercising caution in trusting digital information. Injection and removal of tumorous nodules from medical imaging modalities is one method of maneuvering deepfakes. The inability to acknowledge medical deepfakes can result in a substantial impact on healthcare procedures or even cause of death. With a systematic case study, this work seeks to address the detection of such assaults in lung CT (Computed Tomography) scans generated using CT-GANs. We experiment with machine learning methods and a novel 3-dimensional deep neural architecture on the topic of differentiating between tampered and untampered data. The proposed architecture on the CT-GAN dataset attained a remarkable accuracy of 91.57%, sensitivity of 91.42%, and specificity of 97.20%. Sectioned data cubes containing the affected region of interest seem to perform better compared to raw CT slices with a gain of approximately 20%. Furthermore, 3DCNN outperforms its 2-dimensional counterpart as it extracts temporal features unlike the spatial relationship insufficient for medical data processing. The outcomes of this research reveal that nodule injection and removal manipulations in complicated CT slices may be recognized with a high degree of precision.
