摘要
Recent advancements in Large Vision-Language Models (LVLM) enhance X-ray report generation, but often neglect clinical context, overlook workflow integration, and lack explainability, which hinders clinical adoption due to interpretability and reliability concerns. This paper addresses the dual challenges of performance and expert explainability in automated X-ray report generation for clinical AI applications. Our proposed approach, TransXplainRRG, utilises an off-the-shelf Swin Transformer model along with a transformer-based text encoder that incorporates patient medical history to generate a radiology report. Further, we explore an expert-guided `inside-out' approach and extract only abnormal findings for radiology report refinement. Thus, this study bridges the gap between high-performance automation and interpretability critical for clinical practice by combining state-of-the-art transformer-based vision encoders, text encoders, and LLMs. TransXplainRRG is trained and tested on the large-scale MIMIC-CXR dataset and further evaluated on the unseen IU X-Ray dataset to demonstrate its generalizability and robustness. We employed the GREEN metric as a complementary measure of clinical consistency, achieving scores of 0.327 on MIMIC-CXR and 0.605 on IU X-Ray, both higher than those achieved by MAIRA-2 under the same evaluation setting. It also performed competitively across standard evaluation metrics, frequently matching or surpassing state-of-the-art models. Additionally, we introduce qualitative evaluation metrics developed from radiologists' viewpoints and conduct a preliminary radiologist evaluation on 100 generated reports to assess their clinical relevance. Quantitative and qualitative analyses further demonstrate the potential of our TransXplainRRG framework for reliable and explainable radiology report generation.
