• Abstract summary: We present a practical approach based on the use of large multimodal models (LMMs) for automatically extracting information from scanned images of pathology reports. The proposed framework uses two stages of prompting a Large Multimodal Model (LMM) for information extraction and validation. We show that the estimated confidence is an effective indicator of the accuracy of the extracted information that can be used to select only accurately extracted fields.

• Abstract: Pathology reports are rich in clinical and pathological details but are often presented in free-text format. The unstructured nature of these reports presents a significant challenge limiting the accessibility of their content. In this work, we present a practical approach based on the use of large multimodal models (LMMs) for automatically extracting information from scanned images of pathology reports with the goal of generating a standardised report specifying the value of different fields along with estimated confidence about the accuracy of the extracted fields. The proposed approach overcomes limitations of existing methods which do not assign confidence scores to extracted fields limiting their practical use. The proposed framework uses two stages of prompting a Large Multimodal Model (LMM) for information extraction and validation. The framework generalises to textual reports from multiple medical centres as well as scanned images of legacy pathology reports. We show that the estimated confidence is an effective indicator of the accuracy of the extracted information that can be used to select only accurately extracted fields. We also show the prognostic significance of structured and unstructured data from pathology reports and show that the automatically extracted field values significant prognostic value for patient stratification. The framework is available for evaluation via the URL: https://labieb.dcs.warwick.ac.uk/.

• Controllable Chest X-Ray Report Generation from Longitudinal Representations [13.151444796296868]
  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.
