Northwestern, Dell develop LLM for chest x-ray interpretation

Dell Technologies and Northwestern Medicine are collaborating on a generative multimodal large language model (LLM) for the interpretation of chest x-rays.

Working with Dell's AI Innovation Lab, Northwestern Medicine has designed and tested workflow software prior to deploying them into their own IT environment where they achieved the multimodal LLM that produced draft x-ray reports to aid in physician decision-making, Dell said.

The research and development team within Northwestern Medicine Information Services is led by Mozziyar Etemadi, MD, PhD, medical director of Northwestern Medicine Advanced Technologies, according to the announcement.
