Visual Recalibration and Gating Enhancement Network for Radiology Report Generation.

Automatic radiology medical report generation is a necessary development of artificial intelligence technology in the health care. This technology serves to aid doctors in producing comprehensive diagnostic reports, alleviating the burdensome workloads of medical professionals. However, there are some challenges in generating radiological reports: (1) visual and textual data biases and (2) long-distance dependency problem. To tackle these issues, we design a visual recalibration and gating enhancement network (VRGE), which composes of the visual recalibration module and the gating enhancement module (gating enhancement module, GEM). Specifically, the visual recalibration module enhances the recognition of abnormal features in lesion areas of medical images. The GEM dynamically adjusts the contextual information in the report by introducing gating mechanisms, focusing on capturing professional medical terminology in medical text reports. We have conducted sufficient experiments on the public datasets of IU X-Ray to illustrate that the VRGE outperforms existing models. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
