Overview of the proposal method. Our approach comprises the following three steps: I dimensional reduction of chest X-ray radiographs (CXRs) in a private dataset (pDS) using a pretrained encoder and merging with the remaining tabular clinical data; II training the CTGAN model on these merged tabular data and generating synthetic records that contain encoded image features and tabular clinical data; and III reconstructing the image features to synthetic CXRs using a pretrained decoder
