摘要

Automated radiology report generation significantly reduces radiologists’ workload while maintaining high accuracy and readability standards. We propose an Integrated Multimodal Graph-Enhanced Framework (IMGEF) for graph-enhanced integration to generate precise, clinically relevant medical reports. IMGEF leverages the Spatial-aware Graph Embedding Module (SGEM) to aggregate features from neighbouring nodes in a graph while preserving their inherited spatial relationships. It also incorporates the Multimodal Attention-Based Feature Fusion Module (MABFFM), which integrates information from three modalities, image features, textual features, and graph-based features, to produce a unified feature representation. Extensive experiments on the IU X-ray and MIMIC-CXR datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the IMGEF model, with results highlighting its ability to generate comprehensive, consistent, and accurate reports.
