Researchers have introduced IDNet, a novel multimodal framework designed to improve the screening of ischemic heart disease (IHD) using color fundus photography. IDNet incorporates a Cross-Modal Distillation Aggregator (CDA) that effectively fuses retinal images with sparse clinical data by using learnable queries to integrate visual and tabular features. To support this work, a new benchmark was created from the UK Biobank, comprising over 50,000 images and clinical data from 25,000 subjects. IDNet demonstrated superior performance compared to existing methods on this benchmark, and the CDA module proved to be a versatile component for enhancing various visual encoders. AI
