This research explores the integration of language models and unsupervised anomaly detection in medical imaging, addressing two key questions: (1) Can language models enhance the interpretability of anomaly detection maps? and (2) Can anomaly maps improve the generalizability of language models in open-set anomaly detection tasks? To investigate these questions, we introduce a new dataset for multi-image visual question-answering on brain magnetic resonance images encompassing multiple conditions. We propose KQ-Former (Knowledge Querying Transformer), which is designed to optimally align visual and textual information in limited-sample contexts. Our model achieves a 60.81% accuracy on closed questions, covering disease classification and severity across 15 different classes. For open questions, KQ-Former demonstrates a 70% improvement over the baseline with a BLEU-4 score of 0.41, and achieves the highest entailment ratios (up to 71.9%) and lowest contradiction ratios (down to 10.0%) among various natural language inference models. Furthermore, integrating anomaly maps results in an 18% accuracy increase in detecting open-set anomalies, thereby enhancing the language model’s generalizability to previously unseen medical conditions.

摘要

This research explores the integration of language models and unsupervised anomaly detection in medical imaging, addressing two key questions: (1) Can language models enhance the interpretability of anomaly detection maps? and (2) Can anomaly maps improve the generalizability of language models in open-set anomaly detection tasks? To investigate these questions, we introduce a new dataset for multi-image visual question-answering on brain magnetic resonance images encompassing multiple conditions. We propose KQ-Former (Knowledge Querying Transformer), which is designed to optimally align visual and textual information in limited-sample contexts. Our model achieves a 60.81% accuracy on closed questions, covering disease classification and severity across 15 different classes. For open questions, KQ-Former demonstrates a 70% improvement over the baseline with a BLEU-4 score of 0.41, and achieves the highest entailment ratios (up to 71.9%) and lowest contradiction ratios (down to 10.0%) among various natural language inference models. Furthermore, integrating anomaly maps results in an 18% accuracy increase in detecting open-set anomalies, thereby enhancing the language model’s generalizability to previously unseen medical conditions.
