Exploring the Potential of Retrieval Augmented Generation for Question Answering in Radiology: Initial Findings and Future Directions.

Authors

Abstract

This study explores the application of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) for question answering in radiology, an area where intelligent systems can significantly impact clinical decision-making. A preliminary experiment tested a naive RAG setup on nice radiology-specific questions with a textbook as the reference source, showing moderate improvements over baseline methods. The paper discusses lessons learned and potential enhancements for RAG in handling radiology knowledge, suggesting pathways for future research in integrating intelligent health systems in medical practice.
