Model X-ray payudara tetap kompak (CXR) yang mendistribusikan temuan di lokasi, tetapi anotasi kotak terbatas dan model multimodal yang menyadari laporan mahal pada kesimpulan. Kami memperkenalkan APED-CXR, yang mendistribusikan bukti spasial yang disampaikan laporan dari guru multimodal beku ke siswa dengan parameter 11.1M yang memprediksi penyakit dan kotak dari peta bukti bersama dan membutuhkan gambar saja pada waktu uji coba. Selama pelatihan, guru menggunakan radiografi, laporan, dan kelas yang diminta untuk mengevaluasi wilayah yang diusulkan dari peta bukti siswa saat ini, dan skor dukungan berfungsi sebagai target pelatihan untuk skor bukti yang dikumpulkan siswa di wilayah-daerah ini. Dilatih pada PadChest dan dinilai pada bagian Pad-out PadChest-GR, menyegarkan proposal siswa untuk evaluasi guru

Abstract

Compact chest X-ray (CXR) models that localize findings suit deployment, but box annotations are limited and report-aware multimodal models are expensive at inference. We introduce APED-CXR, which distills report-informed spatial evidence from a frozen multimodal teacher into a student with 11.1M parameters that predicts diseases and boxes from shared evidence maps and requires the image alone at test time. During training, the teacher uses the radiograph, report, and queried class to evaluate regions proposed from the student's current evidence maps, and its support scores serve as training targets for the student's pooled evidence scores within these regions. Trained on PadChest and evaluated on held-out PadChest-GR, refreshing the student's proposals for teacher evaluation improves box-level localization F1 from 0.302 with fixed warm-up proposals to 0.338 (IoU >= 0.5; gain 0.036, 95% CI [0.022, 0.049]), while maintaining diagnostic AUC. This gain depends on the teacher checking current proposals: with equally many random boxes, a fixed dense box set, teacher-generated boxes, or report rules instead of the teacher, F1 stays near the fixed-proposal level, and proposals two refreshes old recover only part of the gain. On NIH ChestX-ray14, a secondary test set, box recall also rises from 0.423 to 0.447.
