• Abstract: Mammography is the primary imaging tool for breast cancer diagnosis. Despite significant strides in applying deep learning to interpret mammography images, efforts that focus predominantly on visual features often struggle with generalization across datasets. We hypothesize that integrating additional modalities in the radiology practice, notably the linguistic features of reports and manifestation features embodying radiological insights, offers a more powerful, interpretable and generalizable representation. In this paper, we announce MVKL, the first multimodal mammography dataset encompassing multi-view images, detailed manifestations and reports. Based on this dataset, we focus on the challanging task of unsupervised pretraining and propose ViKL, a innovative framework that synergizes Visual, Knowledge, and Linguistic features. This framework relies solely on pairing information without the necessity for pathology labels, which are often challanging to acquire. ViKL employs a triple contrastive learning approach to merge linguistic and knowledge-based insights with visual data, enabling both inter-modality and intra-modality feature enhancement. Our research yields significant findings: 1) Integrating reports and manifestations with unsupervised visual pretraining, ViKL substantially enhances the pathological classification and fosters multimodal interactions. 2) Manifestations can introduce a novel hard negative sample selection mechanism. 3) The multimodal features demonstrate transferability across different datasets. 4) The multimodal pretraining approach curbs miscalibrations and crafts a high-quality representation space. The MVKL dataset and ViKL code are publicly available at https://github.com/wxwxwwxxx/ViKL to support a broad spectrum of future research.

  We propose a novel pre-training & fine-tuning framework for Multi-Organ Supervision (MOS) Specifically, we first introduce global contrastive learning to align medical image-report pairs in the pre-training stage. To remedy the discrepancy, we further leverage multi-label recognition to implicitly learn the semantic correspondence between image pixels and organ tags.

  An innovative multi-modal deep learning model is proposed to deeply integrate heterogeneous information from medical images and clinical reports.

  Vision-language pre-training for chest X-rays has made significant strides, primarily by utilizing paired radiographs and radiology reports. We propose DeViDe, a transformer-based method that leverages radiographic descriptions from the open web. DeViDe incorporates three key features for knowledge-augmented vision language alignment: First, a large-language model-based augmentation is employed to homogenise medical knowledge from diverse sources. In zero-shot settings, DeViDe performs comparably to fully supervised models on external datasets and achieves state-of-the-art results on three large-scale datasets.
