• Title: Improving Radiology Report Generation Systems by Removing Hallucinated References to Non-existent Priors
• Authors: Vignav Ramesh, Nathan Andrew Chi, Pranav Rajpurkar
• Abstract summary: We propose two methods to remove references to priors in radiology reports. A GPT-3-based few-shot approach to rewrite medical reports without references to priors; and a BioBERT-based token classification approach to directly remove words referring to priors. We find that our re-trained model--which we call CXR-ReDonE--outperforms previous report generation methods on clinical metrics, achieving an average BERTScore of 0.2351 (2.57% absolute improvement)

• Abstract: Current deep learning models trained to generate radiology reports from chest radiographs are capable of producing clinically accurate, clear, and actionable text that can advance patient care. However, such systems all succumb to the same problem: making hallucinated references to non-existent prior reports. Such hallucinations occur because these models are trained on datasets of real-world patient reports that inherently refer to priors. To this end, we propose two methods to remove references to priors in radiology reports: (1) a GPT-3-based few-shot approach to rewrite medical reports without references to priors; and (2) a BioBERT-based token classification approach to directly remove words referring to priors. We use the aforementioned approaches to modify MIMIC-CXR, a publicly available dataset of chest X-rays and their associated free-text radiology reports; we then retrain CXR-RePaiR, a radiology report generation system, on the adapted MIMIC-CXR dataset. We find that our re-trained model--which we call CXR-ReDonE--outperforms previous report generation methods on clinical metrics, achieving an average BERTScore of 0.2351 (2.57% absolute improvement). We expect our approach to be broadly valuable in enabling current radiology report generation systems to be more directly integrated into clinical pipelines.

  This paper introduces a novel, entity-aware metric, as Radiological Report (Text) Evaluation (RaTEScore) RaTEScore emphasizes crucial medical entities such as diagnostic outcomes and anatomical details, and is robust against complex medical synonyms and sensitive to negation expressions. Our evaluations demonstrate that RaTEScore aligns more closely with human preference than existing metrics, validated both on established public benchmarks and our newly proposed RaTE-Eval benchmark.

  Radiologists face high burnout rates, partly due to the increasing volume of Chest X-rays (CXRs) requiring interpretation and reporting. Our proposed CXR report generator integrates elements of the workflow and introduces a novel reward for reinforcement learning. Results from our study demonstrate that the proposed model generates reports that are more aligned with radiologists' reports than state-of-the-art models.

  Recent transformer-based models have made significant strides in generating radiology reports from chest X-ray images. These models often lack prior knowledge, resulting in the generation of synthetic reports that mistakenly reference non-existent prior exams. We propose a novel approach that leverages a rule-based labeler to extract comparison prior information from radiology reports.
