Clinical Knowledge Graphs for Chest X-Ray Device Reasoning
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.29536v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Chest radiographs are routinely used to verify the position of catheters, tubes, and other support devices. Existing image models often return labels or segmentations, while report-processing systems structure text without access to image geometry. We present an uncertainty-aware clinical knowledge graph that represents device instances, tip estimates, placement assessments, provenance, report events, and temporal links as separate but connected evidence. We evaluate the implemented visual graph layer using saved predictions from the complete RAN
