用全切片图像构建专家级病理多模态模型,提升癌症诊断准确性。

ChatEXAONEPath: An Expert-level Multimodal Large Language Model for Histopathology Using Whole Slide Images

  • 基于TCGA的10,094对切片与报告,构建检索式数据生成流程。
  • 在1,134组数据上实现62.9%诊断接受率,可理解跨癌种病理特征。
  • 适合临床辅助诊断、病理医生协作及多模态医学AI研究者使用。

近期研究在医疗领域推进了大语言模型(LLMs)的发展,能够回答专家级问题并具备辅助临床实践的潜力。由于现有数据集仅提供局部切片信息,当前多模态病理模型难以全面理解复杂的临床背景。因此,构建全切片图像(WSI)级别的多模态大模型具有重要意义。本文提出名为ChatEXAONEPath的专家级多模态大模型,利用来自癌症基因组图谱(TCGA)的10,094对全切片图像与病理报告,设计了一种基于检索的数据生成流程,并建立基于AI的评估协议,以综合分析多模态信息中的医学上下文。在1,134对图像与报告中,模型实现了62.9%的诊断接受率,展现出对多种癌症类型的泛化理解能力。本模型通过融合多模态信息,有望为临床医生提供更全面的形态学分析支持。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Recent studies have made significant progress in developing large language models (LLMs) in the medical domain, which can answer expert-level questions and demonstrate the potential to assist clinicians in real-world clinical scenarios. Studies have also witnessed the importance of integrating various modalities with the existing LLMs for a better understanding of complex clinical contexts, which are innately multi-faceted by nature. Although studies have demonstrated the ability of multimodal LLMs in histopathology to answer questions from given images, they lack in understanding of thorough clinical context due to the patch-level data with limited information from public datasets. Thus, developing WSI-level MLLMs is significant in terms of the scalability and applicability of MLLMs in histopathology. In this study, we introduce an expert-level MLLM for histopathology using WSIs, dubbed as ChatEXAONEPath. We present a retrieval-based data generation pipeline using 10,094 pairs of WSIs and histopathology reports from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). We also showcase an AI-based evaluation protocol for a comprehensive understanding of the medical context from given multimodal information and evaluate generated answers compared to the original histopathology reports. We demonstrate the ability of diagnosing the given histopathology images using ChatEXAONEPath with the acceptance rate of 62.9% from 1,134 pairs of WSIs and reports. Our proposed model can understand pan-cancer WSIs and clinical context from various cancer types. We argue that our proposed model has the potential to assist clinicians by comprehensively understanding complex morphology of WSIs for cancer diagnosis through the integration of multiple modalities.
