## Project Overview
I developed an **Automatic Chest X-Ray Report Generation System** that combines **computer vision** and **natural language processing (NLP)** to generate detailed medical reports from chest X-ray images. This project demonstrates the potential of AI in healthcare by automating routine tasks and assisting medical professionals in diagnosing and reporting.
## Technical Implementation

### 1. Architecture
- **Encoder-Decoder Framework**: Bridged the gap between image analysis and text generation.
- **Encoder**: Utilized **Vision Transformers (ViT)** to extract high-level features from chest X-ray images.
- **Decoder**: Fine-tuned **GPT-2** for generating coherent and accurate medical reports.
- **Multimodal Integration**: Combined image and text data for comprehensive analysis.

### 2. Key Features
- **Automated Image Analysis**: Analyzes chest X-ray images to identify abnormalities such as pneumonia, tumors, or fractures.
- **Report Generation**: Generates detailed and structured medical reports, including findings and recommendations.
- **Consistency and Accuracy**: Ensures reports are consistent with medical standards and free from errors.
- **Scalability**: Designed to handle large volumes of X-ray images efficiently.

### 3. Implementation Details
- **Image Preprocessing**: Used **OpenCV** for resizing, normalization, and augmentation of X-ray images.
- **Feature Extraction**: Leveraged **Vision Transformers (ViT)** to extract meaningful features from images.
- **Text Generation**: Fine-tuned **GPT-2** using a dataset of medical reports for context-aware generation.
- **End-to-End Training**: Developed a custom training pipeline to optimize the encoder-decoder architecture.
