• Abstract summary: We present a radiology-specific multimodal model for generating radiological reports from chest X-rays (CXRs) Our work builds on the idea that large language model(s) can be equipped with multimodal capabilities through alignment with pre-trained vision encoders. Our proposed model (MAIRA-1) leverages a CXR-specific image encoder in conjunction with a fine-tuned large language model based on Vicuna-7B, and text-based data augmentation, to produce reports with state-of-the-art quality.

• Abstract: We present a radiology-specific multimodal model for the task for generating radiological reports from chest X-rays (CXRs). Our work builds on the idea that large language model(s) can be equipped with multimodal capabilities through alignment with pre-trained vision encoders. On natural images, this has been shown to allow multimodal models to gain image understanding and description capabilities. Our proposed model (MAIRA-1) leverages a CXR-specific image encoder in conjunction with a fine-tuned large language model based on Vicuna-7B, and text-based data augmentation, to produce reports with state-of-the-art quality. In particular, MAIRA-1 significantly improves on the radiologist-aligned RadCliQ metric and across all lexical metrics considered. Manual review of model outputs demonstrates promising fluency and accuracy of generated reports while uncovering failure modes not captured by existing evaluation practices.

  We introduce a fact-aware multimodal retrieval-augmented pipeline in generating accurate radiology reports. We first leverage RadGraph to mine factual report pairs, then integrate factual knowledge to train a universal multimodal retriever. Experiments show that our multimodal retriever outperforms state-of-the-art retrievers on both language generation and radiology-specific metrics.

Finally, the captioning generator generates the radiology reports through multi-granularity features.
