A machine learning-based approach for localizing pathological regions in medical scans without requiring extensive bounding box annotations is presented. The method leverages a Latent Diffusion Model, which contains cross-attention mechanisms that align visual and textual features, to perform phrase grounding in a zero-shot manner. By selecting and refining features via post-processing without additional learnable parameters, the approach achieves competitive results with state-of-the-art methods on a chest X-ray benchmark.

A new way of using medical images is being explored. This method helps find specific areas in a scan that are abnormal. It does this without needing to draw boxes around those areas first. Instead, it uses information from text reports about the image to help make the prediction. The model used is called Latent Diffusion Model and it’s good at understanding how words relate to pictures. This method works well even when it doesn’t have any training data for that specific task. It can find abnormalities in chest X-ray images just as well as other methods.
