• Abstract summary: This study introduces an evaluation framework for multimodal models in medical imaging diagnostics. We developed incorporating a pipeline data preprocessing, model inference, and preference-based evaluation, expanding an initial set of 500 clinical cases to 3,000 through controlled augmentation. The results indicated varying performance across models, with Llama 3.2-90B outperforming human diagnoses in 85.27% of cases.

• Abstract: This study introduces an evaluation framework for multimodal models in medical imaging diagnostics. We developed a pipeline incorporating data preprocessing, model inference, and preference-based evaluation, expanding an initial set of 500 clinical cases to 3,000 through controlled augmentation. Our method combined medical images with clinical observations to generate assessments, using Claude 3.5 Sonnet for independent evaluation against physician-authored diagnoses. The results indicated varying performance across models, with Llama 3.2-90B outperforming human diagnoses in 85.27% of cases. In contrast, specialized vision models like BLIP2 and Llava showed preferences in 41.36% and 46.77% of cases, respectively. This framework highlights the potential of large multimodal models to outperform human diagnostics in certain tasks.

  Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have made significant strides, yet they face challenges in the medical domain due to limited specialized knowledge. We seek to address this gap at various stages of the end-to-end learning pipeline, including data collection, model fine-tuning, and evaluation.

For evaluation, we propose CheXprompt, a GPT-4-based metric for factuality evaluation, and demonstrate its parity with expert evaluation. The inference of LlaVA-Rad is fast and can be performed on a single V100 GPU in private settings, offering a promising state-of-the-art tool for real-world clinical applications.

• A Concept-based Interpretable Model for the Diagnosis of Choroid Neoplasias using Multimodal Data [28.632437578685842]
  We focus on choroid neoplasias, the most prevalent form of eye cancer in adults, albeit rare with 5.1 per million. Our work introduces a concept-based interpretable model that distinguishes between three types of choroidal tumors, integrating insights from domain experts via radiological reports. Remarkably, this model achieves an F1 score of 0.91, rivaling that of black-box models, but also boosts the diagnostic accuracy of junior doctors by 42%.
