At iiterate Technologies, we build intelligent tools that solve real-world challenges — from document workflows to diagnostics. One of our recent experimental projects, RadReport AI, explores how multimodal AI can assist radiologists in generating consistent, accurate reports from chest X-rays.

This prototype system combines computer vision and natural language processing to generate clinical summaries from medical images — in seconds.

RadReport AI: Chest X-ray Reports: development process step 1 at iiterate

Why We Built This

Radiologists spend significant time interpreting chest X-rays and manually writing structured reports. While accuracy is critical, the process is repetitive and time-consuming. Our goal with RadReport AI was to explore how AI can help pre-fill initial summaries, allowing radiologists to review, revise, and finalize — rather than start from scratch.

It’s not about replacing expertise. It’s about amplifying it.

How It Works

RadReport AI is built using a multimodal pipeline that links visual understanding with text generation. The model was trained on the Indiana University Chest X-ray dataset, which includes over 7,000 labeled images and reports.

Core tech components:

  • Vision Encoder: ViT (vit-base-patch16-224)

  • Language Decoder: GPT-2

  • Tokenizer: Hugging Face AutoTokenizer

  • Training Framework: PyTorch + Transformers

  • UI Deployment: Streamlit, hosted on Hugging Face Spaces

Once a chest X-ray is uploaded, the model detects relevant patterns in the image and translates them into clinical findings using a GPT-based decoder.

What It Can Do

Here’s what RadReport AI currently supports:

  • Detect and interpret chest X-ray features

  • Generate concise "Impression" summaries

  • Validate outputs using BLEU, ROUGE, and METEOR

  • Run inference via a live, interactive demo

  • Support explainable outputs using attention-based methods (upcoming)

Evaluation Scores:

  • BLEU: 0.51

  • ROUGE-1: 0.55

  • METEOR: 0.53

These results reflect a strong overlap with expert-generated reports.

Real-World Potential

RadReport AI is a proof of concept, but its use cases are tangible:

  • Radiology Clinics: Quick impressions that radiologists can edit and approve

  • Medical Training: Helps students map visual data to clinical terms

  • Healthcare AI Research: Testbed for multimodal diagnostic pipelines

It’s publicly hosted, requires no installation, and is open for testing and feedback.

What’s Next

We’re currently working on:

  • Multi-section reports (e.g., Findings + Impressions)

  • Attention visualizations for more transparency

  • Ontology integration (e.g., RadGraph alignment)

  • Expansion into multilingual reporting

If your clinic, research lab, or university is exploring AI-supported radiology, we’d be happy to collaborate.

Final Thoughts

RadReport AI is a small but meaningful step in exploring how vision-language models can support medical professionals. At iiterate, we see AI as a tool to amplify human intelligence, not replace it — and we build with that mindset.

Stay tuned as we continue to push the boundaries of applied AI.
