An engineering practice program for medical multimodal analysis
MedGemma addresses medical multimodal fusion through the following technology solutions:
- Unified feature space construction: Modeling a joint text-image representation space in a 4B/27B parametric architecture using a cross-attention mechanism
- Clinical scenario optimization: Pre-training for medical-specific modal combinations such as X-rays and radiology reports, skin images and medical record texts.
- Practical Processes::
- Image preprocessing (size normalization + channel normalization)
- Text tokenization (using a specialized medical terminology dictionary)
- Cross-modal attention computation
- joint inference output
In practice, developers can automatically complete feature fusion by simply passing in both images and text via tokenizer. For example, the combination of chest X-ray and clinical symptom description is analyzed with an accuracy improvement of about 22% over unimodal.
