NV-Generate-Body: 3D Latent Diffusion Model forControllable Anatomy, Tumor, and Demographic Body Mask Synthesis

We present NV-Generate-BodyMask, a 3D latent diffusion model that synthesizes whole-body CT segmentation masks with precise, joint control over organ anatomy, tumor burden, and patient demographics.

Key points

  • Curating large labeled CT datasets is expensive and constrained by patient privacy.
  • The model operates in the compressed latent space of a frozen mask autoencoder, generating $256^3$ volumetric label maps conditioned on a 19-dimensional vector via Adaptive Group Normalization and cross-attention.
  • A size-adaptive ROI loss with spatial halo weighting and a paired tumor injection pipeline enable accurate tumor size conditioning despite the scarcity of annotated tumor cases.
  • Trained on 8,571 masks across 26 cohorts spanning 132 labels, the model achieves Spearman $ρ= 0.70$--$0.92$ for organ size, 85--100% tumor recall for lung, pancreatic, colon, and bone lesions, and strong demographic alignment (BMI $ρ= 0.78$, sex-conditioned perfect prostate control).
