Briefings
MedPAO-Assist is an edge-deployable agentic AI framework for radiology report structuring, enabling offline operation with minimal hardware requirements. It processes four imaging modalities (Chest X-ray, Chest CT, Abdomen CT, Brain MRI) using a Small Language Model (SLM) with approximately 0.6B parameters. The system executes an Extract-Ground-Generate pipeline with an average end-to-end latency of approximately 31 seconds on a standard laptop CPU, achieving peak RAM usage of approximately 3.3 GB. The workflow includes concept extraction, SNOMED-CT grounding, report generation, and a speech-driven human-in-the-loop correction phase, eliminating the need for keyboard input, external APIs, or internet connectivity.
Key points
- MedPAO-Assist is an edge-deployable agentic framework that processes four major imaging modalities: Chest X-ray, Chest CT, Abdomen CT, and Brain MRI.
- The system achieves an average end-to-end latency of approximately 31 seconds on a standard laptop CPU while requiring only approximately 3.3 GB peak RAM.
Context
This research addresses the critical bottleneck of high-end GPU requirements for radiology report structuring, offering a solution that enables data privacy and offline operation essential for clinical adoption.
Limitations
The evidence is limited to a single preprint version (arXiv:2610.26913v1) from October 2026, with no additional validation, clinical trial data, or long-term performance metrics provided.
