PaliGemma Chest X-Ray Vision Model

Fine-tuned vision-language model for Portuguese chest X-ray report generation.

Model Details

Base Model: google/medgemma-4b-it
Task: Medical image report generation (image-text-to-text)
Language: Portuguese (Brazilian)
Fine-tuning Method: QLoRA (4-bit quantization)

Capabilities

This model can:

Analyze chest X-ray images
Generate structured radiology reports with TÉCNICA, ACHADOS, and IMPRESSÃO sections
Identify common chest pathologies

Usage

from transformers import PaliGemmaProcessor, PaliGemmaForConditionalGeneration
from PIL import Image

processor = PaliGemmaProcessor.from_pretrained("MedeHealth/paligemma-chest-xray-vision")
model = PaliGemmaForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("MedeHealth/paligemma-chest-xray-vision")

image = Image.open("chest_xray.png")
prompt = "Analyze this chest X-ray and provide a structured radiology report."

inputs = processor(text=prompt, images=image, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=1024)
report = processor.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(report)
