arXiv:2606. 07721v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Objectives: Automatic data extraction from free-text radiology reports enables large-scale research, but few studies assessed the performance of large language models (LLMs) on Dutch neuroradiology reports.
arXiv:2607. 05880v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Imaging demand is growing faster than the radiology workforce can expand, and reporting backlogs cannot be resolved through training and recruitment alone.
GateSPINE is a vision‑language framework designed for automated lumbar spine MRI report generation. It fuses sagittal T1 and T2 volumes using a training‑free gated cross‑view fusion module, then encodes the fused sagittal and axial volumes with parallel 3D encoders before decoding the combined representation into a report. Evaluated on three datasets, GateSPINE achieves the highest clinical efficacy F1 scores, improving recall across all datasets while remaining competitive on standard natural language generation metrics.

arXiv:2608. 00147v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language pretraining learns rich medical image representations from radiology reports, but previous model variants commonly operate within a single shared embedding space, so concept-level structure and interpretability must be recovered post hoc, limiting model transparency and, hence, clinical utility.
The study evaluates whether a fine‑tuned open‑weight model (Gemma‑3‑12B) can match the performance of GPT‑4o in extracting multi‑label intracranial hemorrhage acuity from non‑contrast head‑CT reports. Using a 2×2 design that varied adaptation strategy (classification head vs. instruction fine‑tuning) and training‑data source (distilled real GPT‑4o labels vs. synthetic GPT‑4o‑generated reports), the distilled instruction‑tuned model achieved macro‑F1 scores comparable to GPT‑4o and surpassed the untuned base model. The key finding is that the source of training data—distilled real reports—was more important than the fine‑tuning method, and that the entire fine‑tuning and inference process fits on a single 24 GB consumer GPU.

The paper examines how Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Named Entity Recognition (NER) affect the quality of lay summaries of radiology reports. Using a framework that extracts clinically relevant findings via NER and grounds them with RAG, the authors evaluate few‑shot and fine‑tuned versions of Qwen and BioBART. Results show that NER consistently improves readability and overall quality, RAG alone offers no benefit and can introduce hallucinations, and the best performance comes from fine‑tuned BioBART with NER.
Purpose: To evaluate whether large language model (LLM)-assisted label cleaning can identify label-report discordance in CT-RATE, a large-scale public chest CT dataset. Materials and Methods: After report-level deduplication, 24,446 unique radiology reports were identified.
