Comparison of techniques for fine-tuning open-weight models for entity extraction from radiology reports

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.

Privacy Leakage in Federated Learning in Radiology Reports: A Comparative Evaluation of Tokenizer-Driven Privacy Risks

arXiv:2607. 14205v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated learning (FL) enables multi-institutional training on clinical text without sharing raw data, but gradient inversion can reconstruct sensitive information from shared model updates.

Harrison.Rad 1.5 Technical Report: A radiology foundation model that can draft reports from images, priors and clinical context

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.

RadPRISM: Schema-stratified radiology-report supervision for concept-disentangled image representations and visual grounding

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.
