Findings
Outperforms existing models on multiple datasets
Provides explicit visual evidence supporting diagnoses
Enhances trustworthiness and clinical relevance
Abstract
Automated radiology report generation holds immense potential to alleviate the heavy workload of radiologists. Despite the formidable vision-language capabilities of recent Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs), their clinical deployment is severely constrained by inherent limitations: their "black-box" decision-making renders the generated reports untraceable due to the lack of explicit visual evidence to support the diagnosis, and they struggle to access external domain knowledge. To address these challenges, we propose the Evidence-driven Radiology Report Generation Agent (EviAgent). Unlike opaque end-to-end paradigms, EviAgent coordinates a transparent reasoning trajectory by breaking down the complex generation process into granular operational units. We integrate multi-dimensional visual experts and retrieval mechanisms as external support modules, endowing the system with…
