| Guidelines |
| The aim of the master thesis is the problem of automatic textual report generation for chest X-ray images. The input is one or more chest X-ray images and the output is an overall textual description (report) of the chest X-ray. This report should describe whether there are any diseases/abnormalities and, if so, they should be described in more detail.
The generation of textual descriptions will take place on the basis of neural networks and the final output will be in the Czech language. Some of openly available medical datasets will be used for training the network, but as they are not in the Czech language, they will be translated automatically using a freely available machine translation system. The final model created as a result of the thesis will be then evaluated in order to determine the final performance of the model. The goal is not to replace the doctor examination, as no guarantees can be made about the truthfulness of the model predictions. The thesis should rather produce an auxiliary tool that should help doctors examine X-rays. |
