Artificial intelligence (AI) models for automatic generation of narrative radiology reports from images have the potential to enhance efficiency and reduce workload radiologists. However, evaluating correctness these requires metrics that can capture clinically pertinent differences. In this study, we investigate alignment between automated radiologists' scoring errors in report generation. We address limitations existing by proposing new metrics, RadGraph F1 RadCliQ, which demonstrate...
Abstract Sifting through vast textual data and summarizing key information from electronic health records (EHR) imposes a substantial burden on how clinicians allocate their time. Although large language models (LLMs) have shown immense promise in natural processing (NLP) tasks, efficacy diverse range of clinical summarization tasks has not yet been rigorously demonstrated. In this work, we apply domain adaptation methods to eight LLMs, spanning six datasets four distinct tasks: radiology...

Medicine, by its nature, is a multifaceted domain that requires the synthesis of information across various modalities. Medical generative vision-language models (VLMs) make first step in this direction and promise many exciting clinical applications. However, existing typically have to be fine-tuned on sizeable down-stream datasets, which poses significant limitation as medical applications data scarce, necessitating are capable learning from few examples real-time. Here we propose...
The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) presents open questions in how we clinically diagnose and assess course. Recently, chest computed tomography (CT) has shown utility for COVID-19 diagnosis. In this study, developed Deep COVID DeteCT (DCD), a deep learning convolutional neural network (CNN) that uses the entire CT volume to automatically predict (COVID+) from non-COVID-19 (COVID-) pneumonia normal controls. We discuss training strategies differences performance across 13 international...

Although large language models (LLMs) have shown promise in natural processing (NLP), effectiveness diverse range of clinical summarization tasks remains unproven. In this study, we apply adaptation methods to eight LLMs, spanning four distinct tasks: radiology reports, patient questions, progress notes, doctor-patient dialogue....
Chest X-rays (CXRs) are the most frequently performed imaging test in clinical practice. Recent advances development of vision-language foundation models (FMs) give rise to possibility performing automated CXR interpretation, which can assist physicians with decision-making and improve patient outcomes. However, developing FMs that accurately interpret CXRs is challenging due (1) limited availability large-scale datasets medical image domain, (2) lack vision language encoders capture...
Chest radiographs allow for the meticulous examination of a patient's chest but demands specialized training proper interpretation. Automated analysis medical imaging has become increasingly accessible with advent machine learning (ML) algorithms. Large labeled datasets are key elements and validation these ML solutions. In this paper we describe Brazilian x-ray dataset, BRAX: an automatically dataset designed to assist researchers in models. The contains 24,959 radiography studies from...

Brief hospital course (BHC) summaries are clinical documents that summarize a patient's stay. While large language models (LLMs) depict remarkable capabilities in automating real-world tasks, their for healthcare applications such as synthesizing BHCs from notes have not been shown. We introduce novel pre-processed dataset, the MIMIC-IV-BHC, encapsulating note and brief pairs to adapt LLMs BHC synthesis. Furthermore, we benchmark of summarization performance two general-purpose three...
