A clinically accessible small multimodal radiology model and evaluation metric for chest X-ray findings

Abstract Large foundation models show promise in biomedicine but face challenges in clinical use due to performance gaps, accessibility, cost, and lack of scalable evaluation. Here we show that open-source small multimodal models can bridge these gaps in radiology by generating free-text findings fr...
