Medical imaging is widely used in clinical practice for diagnosis and treatment. Report-writing can be error-prone for unexperienced physicians, and time- consuming and tedious for experienced physicians. To address these issues, we study…
Europe's healthcare systems require enhanced interoperability and digitalization, driving a demand for innovative solutions to process legacy clinical data. This paper presents the results of our project, which aims to leverage Large…
Objective. Mammography reports document the diagnosis of patients' conditions. However, many reports contain non-standard terms (non-BI-RADS descriptors) and incomplete statements, which can lead to conclusions that are not well-supported…
Medical report generation automates radiology descriptions from images, easing the burden on physicians and minimizing errors. However, current methods lack structured outputs and physician interactivity for clear, clinically relevant…
Medical large language models (LLMs) research often makes bold claims, from encoding clinical knowledge to reasoning like a physician. These claims are usually backed by evaluation on competitive benchmarks; a tradition inherited from…
Acquiring high-quality annotations in medical imaging is usually a costly process. Automatic label extraction with natural language processing (NLP) has emerged as a promising workaround to bypass the need of expert annotation. Despite the…
We propose a scalable computerized approach for large-scale inference of Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) final assessment categories in narrative ultrasound (US) reports. Although our model was trained on reports created…
Scalable and accurate identification of specific clinical outcomes has been enabled by machine-learning applied to electronic medical record (EMR) systems. The development of classification models requires the collection of a complete…
Radiology reports for the same patient examination may contain clinically meaningful discrepancies arising from interpretation differences, reporting variability, or evolving assessments. Systematic analysis of such discrepancies is…
Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of large language models (LLMs) in automating disease annotation of CT radiology reports. We compare a rule-based algorithm (RBA), RadBERT, and three lightweight open-weight LLMs for…
Self-supervised learning is crucial for clinical imaging applications, given the lack of explicit labels in healthcare. However, conventional approaches that rely on precise vision-language alignment are not always feasible in complex…
Obtaining datasets labeled to facilitate model development is a challenge for most machine learning tasks. The difficulty is heightened for medical imaging, where data itself is limited in accessibility and labeling requires costly time and…
Medical imaging analysis plays a critical role in the diagnosis and treatment of various medical conditions. This paper focuses on chest X-ray images and their corresponding radiological reports. It presents a new model that learns a joint…
Classifying chest radiographs is a time-consuming and challenging task, even for experienced radiologists. This provides an area for improvement due to the difficulty in precisely distinguishing between conditions such as pleural effusion,…
Patient hand-off and triage are two fundamental problems in health care. Often doctors must painstakingly summarize complex findings to efficiently communicate with specialists and quickly make decisions on which patients have the most…
The advent of large language models (LLMs) has opened new avenues for analyzing complex, unstructured data, particularly within the medical domain. Electronic Health Records (EHRs) contain a wealth of information in various formats,…
Medical Large language models achieve strong scores on standard benchmarks; however, the transfer of those results to safe and reliable performance in clinical workflows remains a challenge. This survey reframes evaluation through a…
Unlike nature image classification where groundtruth label is explicit and of no doubt, physicians commonly interpret medical image conditioned on certainty like using phrase "probable" or "likely". Existing medical image datasets either…
Current approaches to explaining the decisions of deep learning systems for medical tasks have focused on visualising the elements that have contributed to each decision. We argue that such approaches are not enough to "open the black box"…
In diagnostic reports, experts encode complex imaging data into clinically actionable information. They describe subtle pathological findings that are meaningful in their anatomical context. Reports follow relatively consistent structures,…
