• Title: CT2Rep: Automated Radiology Report Generation for 3D Medical Imaging
• Authors: Ibrahim Ethem Hamamci, Sezgin Er, Bjoern Menze,
• Abstract summary: We introduce the first method to generate radiology reports for 3D medical imaging, specifically targeting chest CT. Given the absence of comparable methods, we establish a baseline using an advanced 3D vision encoder in medical imaging to demonstrate our method's effectiveness. We augment CT2Rep with a cross-attention-based multi-modal fusion module and hierarchical memory, enabling the incorporation of longitudinal multimodal data.

• Abstract: Medical imaging plays a crucial role in diagnosis, with radiology reports serving as vital documentation. Automating report generation has emerged as a critical need to alleviate the workload of radiologists. While machine learning has facilitated report generation for 2D medical imaging, extending this to 3D has been unexplored due to computational complexity and data scarcity. We introduce the first method to generate radiology reports for 3D medical imaging, specifically targeting chest CT volumes. Given the absence of comparable methods, we establish a baseline using an advanced 3D vision encoder in medical imaging to demonstrate our method's effectiveness, which leverages a novel auto-regressive causal transformer. Furthermore, recognizing the benefits of leveraging information from previous visits, we augment CT2Rep with a cross-attention-based multi-modal fusion module and hierarchical memory, enabling the incorporation of longitudinal multimodal data.

  Chest X-rays or chest radiography (CXR) enables limited imaging compared to computed tomography (CT) scans. CT scans entail higher costs, greater radiation exposure, and are less accessible than CXRs. In this work we explore cross-modal translation from a 2D low contrast-resolution X-ray input to a 3D high contrast and spatial-resolutionA scan.

  We introduce a novel framework that efficiently generates radiology reports for high-resolution (HR) 3D volumes, based on large language models (LLMs) Specifically, our framework utilizes low-resolution (LR) visual tokens as queries to mine information from HR tokens, preserving detailed HR information while reducing computational costs. We curate and release BIMCV-RG, a new dataset with 5,328 HR 3D volumes and paired reports, establishing the first benchmarks for report generation from 3D HR medical images.

  This paper presents a new self-driven generative adversarial network model (SdCT-GAN) for reconstruction of 3D CT images. It is motivated to pay more attention to image details by introducing a novel auto-encoder structure in the discriminator. LPIPS evaluation metric is adopted that can quantitatively evaluate the fine contours and textures of reconstructed images better than the existing ones.

  We propose a novel view-disentangled transformer to enhance the extraction of MRI features for more accurate tumour detection. First, the proposed transformer harvests long-range correlation among different positions in a 3D brain scan. Second, the transformer models a stack of slice features as multiple 2D views and enhance these features view-by-view. Third, we deploy the proposed transformer module in a transformer backbone, which can effectively detect the 2D regions surrounding brain lesions.
