Abstract

Joint image-text embedding extracted from medical images and associated contextual reports is the bedrock for most biomedical vision-and-language (V+L) tasks, including medical visual question answering, clinical image-text retrieval, clinical report auto-generation. In this study, we adopt four pre-trained V+L models: LXMERT, VisualBERT, UNIER and PixelBERT to learn multimodal representation from MIMIC-CXR radiographs and associated reports. The extrinsic evaluation on OpenI dataset shows that in comparison to the pioneering CNN-RNN model, the joint embedding learned by pre-trained V+L models demonstrate performance improvement in the thoracic findings classification task. We conduct an ablation study to analyze the contribution of certain model components and validate the advantage of joint embedding over text-only embedding. We also visualize attention maps to illustrate the attention mechanism of V+L models.
