SLaVA-CXR: Small Language and Vision Assistant for Chest X-ray Report Automation

SLaVA-CXR: Small Language and Vision Assistant for Chest X-ray Report Automation [Paper] [Code] [Model]

Environment

conda create -n slava_cxr python=3.10 -y
conda activate slava_cxr
pip install --upgrade pip  # enable PEP 660 support
pip install -e .

Train

The training codes is made available. The training datasets are currently not available.

Evaluation

Evaluation dataset can be any chest X-ray frontal view image paired with a report.
We used MIMIC-CXR and IU-Xray datasets in our paper for the evaluation. We have included IU-Xray questions for impression and findings section automation. Please download IU-Xray dataset LINK.

Findings Generation
