  • 用多导联信号编码+临床提示词,让模型理解波形并生成专业报告
  • 在两个数据集上报告质量提升超11%,尤其在诊断术语匹配上表现突出
  • 专为心电图设计评价指标,更适合评估临床报告的准确性

心电图是诊断心血管疾病最常用的无创工具,但将多导联心电图转化为可靠临床报告仍具挑战。自动化报告生成可减轻医生负担、提升诊断效率,并扩大偏远地区心脏评估覆盖。与图像报告不同,心电图需分析细微的时间波形变化,并以密集的临床术语进行逻辑推理。现有系统多集中于分类,而报告生成方法常无法满足实际临床需求。为此,我们提出ECG-LENS,一个端到端的心电图报告生成框架,融合多导联信号建模、诊断感知表示与临床导向文本生成。该框架采用导联专用编码器保留局部波形特征,同时通过全局编码器捕捉导联间依赖关系。为引导生成,将信号表示与临床增强的文本提示融合,驱动GPT-2解码器生成报告。此外,引入一种心电图专用的报告预处理策略,帮助模型聚焦临床有意义发现。由于传统词汇度量可能低估或高估报告质量,我们提出F1-ECGBERT,一种基于BERT的心电图专用度量,用于计算生成报告与参考报告中提取的诊断标签的一致性。在PTB-XL上的域内实验及在MIMIC-IV-ECG上的跨域评估表明,ECG-LENS持续优于现有最佳方法,在METEOR、ROUGE-L和F1-ECGBERT上分别取得4.0%、6.3%和11.5%的绝对提升。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Electrocardiography (ECG) is one of the most widely used non-invasive tools for diagnosing cardiovascular disease, but transforming multi-lead ECG recordings into reliable clinical reports remains challenging. Automating ECG report generation could reduce clinicians' interpretive workload, improve diagnostic efficiency, and expand access to cardiac assessment in underserved communities. Unlike image-based report-generation tasks, ECG interpretation requires the analysis of subtle temporal morphologies, followed by coherent diagnostic reasoning expressed in dense clinical terminology. Existing systems predominantly focus on classification, while current report-generation methods often produce outputs that remain inadequate for practical clinical use. To address these challenges, we propose ECG-LENS, an end-to-end ECG report-generation framework that jointly integrates multi-lead signal modeling, diagnosis-aware representations, and clinically grounded text generation. ECG-LENS combines lead-wise encoders that preserve localized waveform morphology with a global encoder that captures inter-lead dependencies. To guide report generation, we fuse signal representations with clinically enriched textual prompts that condition a GPT-2 decoder. We further introduce an ECG-specific report-preprocessing strategy that helps the model focus on clinically meaningful findings. Finally, because lexical metrics may under- or overestimate report quality, we propose F1-ECGBERT, a BERT-based, ECG-specific metric that measures agreement between diagnostic labels extracted from generated and reference reports. In-domain experiments on PTB-XL and cross-domain evaluation on MIMIC-IV-ECG show that ECG-LENS consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods, with absolute gains of 4.0%, 6.3%, and 11.5% in METEOR, ROUGE-L, and F1-ECGBERT, respectively, over the strongest baselines.
