Current learning-based translation methods are predominantly based on generative adversarial networks (GAN) that implicitly characterize the distribution of the target contrast, with limits fidelity of synthesized images. Here we present SynDiff, a novel conditional adversarial diffusion model for computationally efficient, high-fidelity contrast translation. SynDiff enables training on unpaired datasets, thanks to its cycle-consistent architecture with coupled diffusion processes. Demonstrations on multi-contrast MRI datasets indicate the superiority of SynDiff against competing GAN and diffusion models.
