A multimodal multidomain multilingual medical foundation model for zero shot clinical diagnosis by Liu, F, Li, Z, Yin, Q, Huang, J, Luo, J, Thakur, A, Branson, K, Schwab, P, Yin, B, Wu, X, Zheng, Y, Clifton, DA

“…Typically, clinical diagnosis using radiology images involves disease reporting and classification, where the former is a multimodal task whereby textual reports are generated to describe clinical findings in images, as are common in various domains, e.g., chest X-ray or computed tomography. Existing approaches are mainly supervised, the quality of which heavily depends on the volume and quality of available labeled data. …”
