Advances in general-purpose computers have enabled the generation of high-quality synthetic medical images that human eyes cannot differ between real and AI-generated images. To analyse the efficacy of the generated medical images, this study proposed a modified VGG16-based algorithm to recognise AI-generated medical images. Initially, 10,000 synthetic medical skin lesion images were generated using a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN), providing a set of images for comparison to real images. Then, an enhanced VGG16-based algorithm has been developed to classify real images vs AI-generated images. Following hyperparameters tuning and training, the optimal approach can classify the images with 99.82% accuracy. Multiple other evaluations have been used to evaluate the efficacy of the proposed network. The complete dataset used in this study is available online to the research community for future research.
