## Summary

medpao-assist is an agentic framework designed to generate structured radiology reports directly from dictation and voice commands. It supports four major imaging modalities – chest x‑ray, chest ct, abdomen ct, and brain mri – and is built around a small language model in the 0.6B‑parameter range.

the architecture follows an extract‑ground‑generate paradigm, performing concept extraction, SNOMED‑CT grounding, and structured report generation before a speech‑driven human‑in‑the‑loop correction phase. This creates a fully “no‑touch” workflow that requires no keyboard input, external API calls, or internet connectivity. Individual pipeline stages were evaluated for concept extraction, ontology grounding, and categorization, and hardware profiling confirms feasibility for real‑time, CPU‑only clinical deployment.

## Key points

- supports chest x‑ray, chest ct, abdomen ct, and brain mri using a 0.6B‑parameter small language model
- uses extract‑ground‑generate agents and speech‑driven human‑in‑the‑loop correction for a no‑touch reporting workflow

## Why it matters

allows hospitals to deploy AI‑powered radiology reporting on‑site without cloud services or high‑end GPUs, preserving patient privacy and lowering infrastructure costs.
