• Abstract: Osteoarthritis (OA) poses a global health challenge, demanding precise diagnostic methods. Current radiographic assessments are time consuming and prone to variability, prompting the need for automated solutions. The existing deep learning models for OA assessment are unimodal single task systems and they don't incorporate relevant text information such as patient demographics, disease history, or physician reports. This study investigates employing Vision Language Processing (VLP) models to predict OA severity using Xray images and corresponding reports. Our method leverages Xray images of the knee and diverse report templates generated from tabular OA scoring values to train a CLIP (Contrastive Language Image PreTraining) style VLP model. Furthermore, we incorporate additional contrasting captions to enforce the model to discriminate between positive and negative reports. Results demonstrate the efficacy of these models in learning text image representations and their contextual relationships, showcase potential advancement in OA assessment, and establish a foundation for specialized vision language models in medical contexts.

  We evaluate the publicly available, state of the art, foundational vision-language models for chest X-ray interpretation. We find that vision-language models often hallucinate with confident language, which slows down clinical interpretation. We develop an agent-based vision-language approach for report generation using CheXagent's linear probes and BioViL-T's phrase grounding tools.

  This paper explores training medical vision-language models (VLMs) where the visual and language inputs are embedded into a common space. We explore several candidate methods to improve low-data performance, including adapting generic pre-trained models to novel image and text domains. Using text-to-image retrieval as a benchmark, we evaluate the performance of these methods with variable sized training datasets of paired chest X-rays and radiological reports.
