contents The human whole-body X-rays could offer a valuable reference for various applications, including medical diagnostics, digital animation modeling, and ergonomic design. The traditional method of obtaining X-ray information requires the use of CT (Computed Tomography) scan machines, which emit potentially harmful radiation. Thus it faces a significant limitation for realistic applications because it lacks adaptability and safety. In our work, We proposed a new method to directly generate the 2D human whole-body X-rays from the human masking images. The predicted images will be similar to the real ones with the same image style and anatomic structure. We employed a data-driven strategy. By leveraging advanced generative techniques, our model MaSkel(Masking image to Skeleton X-rays) could generate a high-quality X-ray image from a human masking image without the need for invasive and harmful radiation exposure, which not only provides a new path to generate highly anatomic and customized data but also reduces health risks. To our knowledge, our model MaSkel is the first work for predicting whole-body X-rays. In this paper, we did two parts of the work. The first one is to solve the data limitation problem, the diffusion-based techniques are utilized to make a data augmentation, which provides two synthetic datasets for preliminary pretraining. Then we designed a two-stage training strategy to train MaSkel. At last, we make qualitative and quantitative evaluations of the generated X-rays. In addition, we invite some professional doctors to assess our predicted data. These evaluations demonstrate the MaSkel's superior ability to generate anatomic X-rays from human masking images. The related code and links of the dataset are available at https://github.com/2022yingjie/MaSkel.
