Automated Chest X-Ray Diagnosis Report Generation with Cross-Attention Mechanism by Jian Zhao, Wei Yao, Lei Sun, Lijuan Shi, Zhejun Kuang, Changwu Wu, Qiulei Han

“…This study uses deep learning technology to automatically generate diagnostic reports for chest X-ray images, which significantly reduces the workload of doctors, reduces the risk of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis, and provides technical support for improving public health emergency response capabilities. In this study, we propose an innovative network architecture to address the limitations of traditional image description networks in generating chest X-ray diagnostic reports, especially the large area deviation between abnormal and normal areas, and the lack of effective alignment of the two modalities of image and text. …”
