Core Innovation

This paper introduces RAD, which explicitly incorporates external disease-specific knowledge into multimodal diagnostic models rather than relying on implicit knowledge in parameters. It aligns model features with clinical guidelines using a novel contrastive loss and guides cross-modal fusion with a dual transformer decoder, improving interpretability and diagnostic accuracy.

Market Size (TAM)

$20–50B TAM for AI-driven clinical diagnostic tools; $2–10B SAM from hospitals and healthcare providers adopting AI diagnostics. Driven by increasing demand for accurate, interpretable AI in healthcare and rising adoption of multimodal medical imaging.
