• Abstract summary: Traditional datasets for the radiological diagnosis tend to only provide the radiology image alongside the radiology report. This paper utilizes the recently published Eye-Gaze dataset to perform an exhaustive study on the impact on performance and explainability of deep learning (DL) classification. We find that the best classification performance of X-ray images is achieved with a combination of radiology report free-text and radiology image, with the eye-gaze data providing no performance boost.

• Abstract: Traditional datasets for the radiological diagnosis tend to only provide the radiology image alongside the radiology report. However, radiology reading as performed by radiologists is a complex process, and information such as the radiologist's eye-fixations over the course of the reading has the potential to be an invaluable data source to learn from. Nonetheless, the collection of such data is expensive and time-consuming. This leads to the question of whether such data is worth the investment to collect. This paper utilizes the recently published Eye-Gaze dataset to perform an exhaustive study on the impact on performance and explainability of deep learning (DL) classification in the face of varying levels of input features, namely: radiology images, radiology report text, and radiologist eye-gaze data. We find that the best classification performance of X-ray images is achieved with a combination of radiology report free-text and radiology image, with the eye-gaze data providing no performance boost. Nonetheless, eye-gaze data serving as secondary ground truth alongside the class label results in highly explainable models that generate better attention maps compared to models trained to do classification and attention map generation without eye-gaze data.

  We propose MSCL (Medical image with Contrastive Learning) to segment organs, abnormalities, bones, etc. We introduce a supervised contrastive loss that assigns more weight to reports that are semantically similar to the target while training. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed model, where we achieve state-of-the-art performance on the IU X-Ray public dataset.

  Image-to-text radiology report generation aims to automatically produce radiology reports that describe the findings in medical images. Most existing methods focus solely on the image data, disregarding the other patient information accessible to radiologists. We present a novel multi-modal deep neural network framework for generating chest X-rays reports by integrating structured patient data, such as vital signs and symptoms, alongside unstructured clinical notes.

  The cognitive task of interpreting medical images remains the most critical and often time-consuming step in the radiology workflow. This work focuses on reducing the workload of radiologists who spend most of their time either writing or narrating the Findings. Unlike past research, which addresses radiology report generation as a single-step image captioning task, we have further taken into consideration the complexity of interpreting CXR images.
