Abstract
BACKGROUND: Automated generation of radiological reports for different imaging modalities is essentially required to smoothen the clinical workflow and alleviate radiologists' workload. It involves the careful amalgamation of image processing techniques for medical image interpretation and language generation techniques for report generation. This paper presents CADxReport, a coattention and reinforcement learning based technique for generating clinically accurate reports from chest x-ray (CXR) images.
