Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Medical imaging techniques are widely employed in disease diagnosis and treatment. A readily available medical report can be a useful tool in assisting an expert for investigating the patient's health. A radiologist can benefit from an automatic medical image to radiological report translation system while preparing a final report. Previous attempts on automatic medical report generation task includes image captioning algorithms without taking domain-specific visual and textual contents into account, thus arises the question about credibility of generated report.
