Abstract
Cancer is a leading cause of mortality worldwide, with breast and lung cancer being the most prevalent globally. Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for successful treatment, and medical imaging techniques play a pivotal role in achieving this. This paper proposes a novel pipeline that leverages generative artificial intelligence to enhance medical images by combining synthetic image generation and super-resolution techniques. The framework is validated in two medical use cases (breast and lung cancers), demonstrating its potential to improve the quality and quantity of medical imaging data, ultimately contributing to more precise and effective cancer diagnosis and treatment. Overall, although some limitations do exist, this paper achieved satisfactory results for an image size which is conductive to specialist analysis, and further expands upon this field’s capabilities. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

Abstract
The aim of this work is to explore normalising flows to detect anomalous behaviours which is an essential task mainly for surveillance systems-related applications. To accomplish that, a series of ablation studies were performed by varying the parameters of the Spatio-Temporal Graph Normalising Flows (STG-NF) model [3] and combining it with attention mechanisms. Out of all these experiments, it was only possible to improve the state-of-the-art result for the UBnormal dataset by 3.4 percentual points (pp), for the Avenue by 4.7 pp and for the Avenue-HR by 3.2 pp. However, further research remains urgent to find a model that can give the best performance across different scenarios. The inaccuracies of the pose tracking and estimation algorithm seems to be the main factor limiting the models’ performance.
