PathKGen uses knowledge graphs for explainable histopathology reports

Researchers have developed PathKGen, a novel multimodal large language model (MLLM) designed to improve the explainability of histopathology reports. PathKGen integrates external structured knowledge from pathology-specific knowledge graphs into its reasoning process, addressing the limitations of current MLLMs that rely solely on internal parameters. This approach allows the model to generate more accurate reports and provides visually intuitive graphs to illustrate its diagnostic reasoning, surpassing previous state-of-the-art methods on the WSI-Bench dataset. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more trustworthy and interpretable AI tools in medical diagnostics, improving clinician confidence and patient care.
