• Abstract summary: An innovative multi-modal deep learning model is proposed to deeply integrate heterogeneous information from medical images and clinical reports. For medical images, convolutional neural networks were used to extract high-dimensional features and capture key visual information. For clinical report text, a two-way long and short-term memory network combined with an attention mechanism is used for deep semantic understanding.

• Abstract: In this paper, an innovative multi-modal deep learning model is proposed to deeply integrate heterogeneous information from medical images and clinical reports. First, for medical images, convolutional neural networks were used to extract high-dimensional features and capture key visual information such as focal details, texture and spatial distribution. Secondly, for clinical report text, a two-way long and short-term memory network combined with an attention mechanism is used for deep semantic understanding, and key statements related to the disease are accurately captured. The two features interact and integrate effectively through the designed multi-modal fusion layer to realize the joint representation learning of image and text. In the empirical study, we selected a large medical image database covering a variety of diseases, combined with corresponding clinical reports for model training and validation. The proposed multimodal deep learning model demonstrated substantial superiority in the realms of disease classification, lesion localization, and clinical description generation, as evidenced by the experimental results.

  Deep generative models have significantly advanced medical imaging analysis by enhancing dataset size and quality. We employ a generative structure with hybrid conditions, combining clinical data and segmentation masks to guide the image synthesis process. Our approach differs from and presents a more challenging task than traditional medical report-guided synthesis due to the less visual correlation of our clinical information with the images.
