CSIRO’s Australian e-Health Research Centre (AEHRC) is investigating how artificial intelligence (AI) can support healthcare professionals in interpreting medical images. In collaboration with hospitals, the centre is developing AI models that help radiologists analyse X-ray images, with the aim of reducing workload and making diagnostic processes more efficient.
The latest generation of AI systems uses visual language models (VLM), which combine image recognition with natural language processing. These models can not only “see” X-rays, but also link relevant medical information to textual reports. Dr Aaron Nicolson, a researcher at AEHRC, focuses specifically on generating radiological reports based on chest X-rays, for example when assessing heart and lung conditions or checking pacemaker positions. “There are too few radiologists for the mountain...
