Transition-Aware best-of-N sampling for Longitudinal Chest X-ray Reports

arXiv:2606.28393v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In longitudinal clinical practice, every chest X-ray is read in the context of the patients prior exam, and much of what the radiologist communicates is the change from one visit to the next. To the best of our knowledge, we present the first training-free best-of-N sampling scheme for pre-trained chest X-ray report generators that is explicitly aware of this longitudinal prior to current transition.
