• Abstract: Automated retinal image medical description generation is crucial for streamlining medical diagnosis and treatment planning. Existing challenges include the reliance on learned retinal image representations, difficulties in handling multiple imaging modalities, and the lack of clinical context in visual representations. Addressing these issues, we propose the Multi-Modal Medical Transformer (M3T), a novel deep learning architecture that integrates visual representations with diagnostic keywords. Unlike previous studies focusing on specific aspects, our approach efficiently learns contextual information and semantics from both modalities, enabling the generation of precise and coherent medical descriptions for retinal images. Experimental studies on the DeepEyeNet dataset validate the success of M3T in meeting ophthalmologists' standards, demonstrating a substantial 13.5% improvement in BLEU@4 over the best-performing baseline model.

  We introduce CT-GLIP (Grounded Language-Image Pretraining with CT scans), a novel method that constructs organ-level image-text pairs to enhance multimodal contrastive learning. Our method, trained on a multimodal CT dataset comprising 44,011 organ-level vision-text pairs from 17,702 patients across 104 organs, demonstrates it can identify organs and abnormalities in a zero-shot manner using natural languages.
