• Abstract: Medical vision-language pre-training (Med-VLP) models have recently accelerated the fast-growing medical diagnostics application. However, most Med-VLP models learn task-specific representations independently from scratch, thereby leading to great inflexibility when they work across multiple fine-tuning tasks. In this work, we propose UniDCP, a Unified medical vision-language model with Dynamic Cross-modal learnable Prompts, which can be plastically applied to multiple medical vision-language tasks. Specifically, we explicitly construct a unified framework to harmonize diverse inputs from multiple pretraining tasks by leveraging cross-modal prompts for unification, which accordingly can accommodate heterogeneous medical fine-tuning tasks. Furthermore, we conceive a dynamic cross-modal prompt optimizing strategy that optimizes the prompts within the shareable space for implicitly processing the shareable clinic knowledge. UniDCP is the first Med-VLP model capable of performing all 8 medical uni-modal and cross-modal tasks over 14 corresponding datasets, consistently yielding superior results over diverse state-of-the-art methods.

  We propose a unified healthcare prediction model, also named by textbfFlexCare, to flexibly accommodate incomplete multimodal inputs. A task-agnostic multimodal information extraction module is presented to capture decorrelated representations of diverse intra- and inter-modality patterns. Experimental results on multiple tasks from MIMIC-IV/MIMIC-CXR/MIMIC-NOTE datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

  Vision-Language Models (VLM) can support clinicians by analyzing medical images and engaging in natural language interactions. VLMs often exhibit "hallucinogenic" behavior, generating textual outputs not grounded in contextual multimodal information. We propose a new alignment algorithm that uses symbolic representations of clinical reasoning to ground VLMs in medical knowledge.

Our experiments demonstrate that MedVersa achieves state-of-the-art performance in 9 tasks, sometimes outperforming specialist counterparts by over 10%.

  In hospitals, data are siloed to specific information systems that make the same information available under different modalities. This offers unique opportunities to obtain and use at train-time those multiple views of the same information that might not always be available at test-time. We propose an innovative framework that makes the most of available data by learning good representations of a multi-modal input that are resilient to modality dropping at test-time.
