AI model generates x-ray reports similar to radiologists
By Will Morton
A team at Northwestern University has developed an AI model that could serve to alert physicians to life-threatening diseases on chest x-rays.
October 5, 2023
The AI model is an encoder-decoder model trained to generate a text report given a chest x-ray and most recent comparison (anterior-posterior or posterior-anterior view only). The vision encoder weights were initialized from Vision Transformer (ViT) base and the text decoder weights were initialized from Robustly Optimized BERT Pretraining Approach (RoBERTa) base before training for 30 epochs on a data set of 900,000 chest x-rays (CXRs). cp indicates chest pain; sob = shortness of breath.
