ChestXRayBERT: A Pretrained Language Model for Chest Radiology Report Summarization
Abstract
Automatically generating the “impression” section of a radiology report given the “findings” section can summarize as much salient information of the “findings” section as possible, thus promoting more effective communication between radiologists and referring physicians. To significantly reduce the workload of radiologists, we develop and evaluate a novel framework of abstractive summarization methods to automatically generate the “impression” section of chest radiology reports. Despite recent advancements in natural language process (NLP) field such as BERT and its variants, existing abstractive summarization models and methods could not be directly applied to radiology reports, partly due to domain-specific radiology terminology. In response, we develop a pre-trained language model in the chest radiology domain, named ChestXRayBERT, to solve the problem of automatically summarizing chest radiology reports. Specifically, we first collect radiology-related scientific papers as pre-training corpus and pre-train a ChestXRayBERT on it. Then, an abstractive summarization model is proposed, which consists of the pre-trained ChestXRayBERT and a Transformer decoder. Finally, the model is fine-tuned on chest X-ray reports for the abstractive summarization task. When evaluated on the publicly available OPEN-I and MIMIC-CXR datasets, the performance of our proposed model achieves significant improvement compared with other neural networks-based abstractive summarization models. In general, the proposed ChestXRayBERT demonstrates the feasibility and promise of tailoring and extending advanced NLP techniques to the domain of medical imaging and radiology, as well as in the broader biomedicine and healthcare fields in the future.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
