• Abstract summary: We introduce a prompt-guided approach to generate structured chest X-ray reports using a pre-trained large language model (LLM) First, we identify anatomical regions in chest X-rays to generate focused sentences that center on key visual elements. We also convert the detected anatomy into textual prompts conveying anatomical comprehension to the LLM.

• Abstract: Medical report generation automates radiology descriptions from images, easing the burden on physicians and minimizing errors. However, current methods lack structured outputs and physician interactivity for clear, clinically relevant reports. Our method introduces a prompt-guided approach to generate structured chest X-ray reports using a pre-trained large language model (LLM). First, we identify anatomical regions in chest X-rays to generate focused sentences that center on key visual elements, thereby establishing a structured report foundation with anatomy-based sentences. We also convert the detected anatomy into textual prompts conveying anatomical comprehension to the LLM. Additionally, the clinical context prompts guide the LLM to emphasize interactivity and clinical requirements. By integrating anatomy-focused sentences and anatomy/clinical prompts, the pre-trained LLM can generate structured chest X-ray reports tailored to prompted anatomical regions and clinical contexts. We evaluate using language generation and clinical effectiveness metrics, demonstrating strong performance.

  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.

  Large language models (LLMs) have shown the potential to generate accurate clinical text summaries, but still struggle with issues regarding grounding and evaluation. Here, we explore a general mitigation framework using Attribute Structuring (AS), which structures the summary evaluation process. AS consistently improves the correspondence between human annotations and automated metrics in clinical text summarization.

  One strategy to speed up reporting is to integrate automated reporting systems. Previous approaches to automated radiology reporting generally do not provide the prior study as input. We introduce two novel aspects: (1) longitudinal learning -- we propose a method to align, leverage the current and prior scan information into a joint longitudinal representation which can be provided to the multimodal report generation model; (2) sentence-anatomy dropout -- a training strategy for controllability in which the report generator model is trained to predict only sentences from the original report which correspond to the subset of anatomical regions given as input.
