Diagnostic Caption

Diagnostic captioning (DC) is the automated generation of textual descriptions from medical images, aiming to assist clinicians by providing preliminary diagnoses and improving efficiency. Current research focuses on improving the accuracy of these captions using advanced deep learning models, such as transformer-based encoder-decoder architectures and large language models, often incorporating existing medical tags or leveraging multi-modal data to enhance performance. This technology holds significant potential for improving diagnostic accuracy, streamlining workflows, and facilitating better communication within healthcare settings, particularly in radiology and dermatology.
