Model Summary

MedDr is a large-scale generalist vision-language model for healthcare. It is built upon InternVL and trained using a diagnosis-guided bootstrapping strategy that leverages both image and label information to construct high-quality vision-language datasets.

MedDr supports diverse medical imaging modalities:

  • 🫁 Radiology (X-ray, CT, MRI)
  • 🔬 Pathology
  • 🧴 Dermatology
  • 👁️ Retinography
  • 🔭 Endoscopy

During inference, MedDr employs a retrieval-augmented medical diagnosis strategy to enhance generalization ability.


Capabilities

  • Visual Question Answering (VQA) for medical images
  • Medical report generation
  • Medical image diagnosis across multiple modalities

Usage

Environment Setup

This model is built on InternVL. Please follow the INSTALLATION.md to set up the environment.

Quick Demo

# Clone the GitHub repository
# git clone https://github.com/sunanhe/MedDr.git

# Edit demo.py and set model_path to your local checkpoint directory
# Then run:
# python3 demo.py

See demo.py in the GitHub repository for a full example.
