Details
11.15am - 12.15pm - Mixed theme abstracts
12.15pm - 12.30pm - Beyond the Image: Generating Radiology Reports from a Variety of Patient Data Sources
This session presents CXRMate, a multimodal large language model that generates chest X-ray reports using the patient’s chest X-ray alongside auxiliary data such as emergency records, prior studies, and referrals. Using publicly available datasets, we show that including structured clinical context improves diagnostic accuracy. I will also describe the issues surrounding validating this technology.
I will then present a retrospective study devised to overcome these validation challenges. Performed with Australian radiologists on locally sourced patient data, the study underscores the need for sovereign AI attuned to national demographics and clinical practice. This work constitutes the first step towards a clinically deployable, context-aware reporting tool. I will conclude by outlining potential pathways for integrating CXRMate into the radiologists’ workflow.
