用AI生成胸片报告,更准更快还少出错。
Revolutionizing Radiology Workflow with Factual and Efficient CXR Report Generation
- 用医生反馈训练模型,减少虚假诊断信息。
- 在14类疾病上准确率达59.5(Micro F1),优于现有方法。
- 适合医院放射科提速,也适合医生做报告校对。
日益增长的医学影像解读需求迫切需要先进的人工智能技术来提升放射科诊断的效率与准确性。本文提出CX-PathFinder,一种专为自动胸片(CXR)报告生成设计的大型语言模型(LLM)基础模型。我们引入临床医生指导的对抗性微调(CGAFT)训练范式,将专家临床反馈融入对抗学习框架,有效缓解事实性错误并提升诊断精度。同时,知识图谱增强模块(KGAM)在推理阶段动态验证生成的医疗陈述,确保与权威知识库一致,减少幻觉并统一术语表达。基于数百万张配对的胸片图像与专家报告数据集,实验表明,CX-PathFinder在多项量化指标上显著优于现有最优医学视觉-语言模型,包括临床准确率(宏平均F1: 46.5,微平均F1: 59.5)。此外,由注册放射科医生进行的盲评验证了其卓越的临床实用性、完整性和准确性,证实其具备作为可靠高效辅助工具用于放射实践的潜力。该方法在保持高诊断保真度的同时兼顾计算效率,为自动化医疗报告生成提供稳健解决方案。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The escalating demand for medical image interpretation underscores the critical need for advanced artificial intelligence solutions to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of radiological diagnoses. This paper introduces CXR-PathFinder, a novel Large Language Model (LLM)-centric foundation model specifically engineered for automated chest X-ray (CXR) report generation. We propose a unique training paradigm, Clinician-Guided Adversarial Fine-Tuning (CGAFT), which meticulously integrates expert clinical feedback into an adversarial learning framework to mitigate factual inconsistencies and improve diagnostic precision. Complementing this, our Knowledge Graph Augmentation Module (KGAM) acts as an inference-time safeguard, dynamically verifying generated medical statements against authoritative knowledge bases to minimize hallucinations and ensure standardized terminology. Leveraging a comprehensive dataset of millions of paired CXR images and expert reports, our experiments demonstrate that CXR-PathFinder significantly outperforms existing state-of-the-art medical vision-language models across various quantitative metrics, including clinical accuracy (Macro F1 (14): 46.5, Micro F1 (14): 59.5). Furthermore, blinded human evaluation by board-certified radiologists confirms CXR-PathFinder's superior clinical utility, completeness, and accuracy, establishing its potential as a reliable and efficient aid for radiological practice. The developed method effectively balances high diagnostic fidelity with computational efficiency, providing a robust solution for automated medical report generation.
