Abstract
The increasing demand for medical imaging has surpassed the capacity of available radiologists, leading to diagnostic delays and potential misdiagnoses. Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, particularly in automatic medical report generation (AMRG), offer a promising solution to this dilemma. This review comprehensively examines AMRG methods from 2021 to 2024. It (i) presents solutions to primary challenges in this field, (ii) explores AMRG applications across various imaging modalities, (iii) introduces publicly available datasets, (iv) outlines evaluation metrics, (v) identifies techniques that significantly enhance model performance, and (vi) discusses unresolved issues and potential future research directions. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the existing literature and inspire valuable future research.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
