MeDSLIP is a medical dual-stream language-image pre-training framework that explicitly disentangles pathology and anatomy semantics from medical images and reports. The approach achieves state-of-the-art performance in zero-shot classification and grounding tasks, and demonstrates superior transferability for fine-tuning classification and segmentation, particularly with limited data.

Key insights

  • Explicitly disentangling pathology and anatomy semantics in both images and texts leads to a more granular and clinically relevant understanding of medical conditions.
  • Modeling the intricate relationships between disentangled pathology and anatomy, through both cross-modal and intra-image contrastive learning, is crucial for enhanced VLM performance.
  • Aggregating all positive examples into a prototype vector for contrastive learning improves data efficiency and interaction modeling in complex medical scenarios.
