# Model Card for PubMedCLIP

PubMedCLIP is a fine-tuned version of [CLIP](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/model_doc/clip) for the medical domain.

## Model Description
PubMedCLIP was trained on the [Radiology Objects in COntext (ROCO)](https://github.com/razorx89/roco-dataset) dataset, a large-scale multimodal medical imaging dataset.
The ROCO dataset includes diverse imaging modalities (such as X-Ray, MRI, ultrasound, fluoroscopy, etc.) from various human body regions (such as head, spine, chest, abdomen, etc.) 
captured from open-access [PubMed](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) articles.<br> 

The authors of PubMedCLIP have released three different pre-trained models at 
this [link](https://1drv.ms/u/s!ApXgPqe9kykTgwD4Np3-f7ODAot8?e=zLVlJ2) which use ResNet-50, ResNet-50x4 and ViT32 as image encoders. 
This repository includes only the ViT32 variant of the PubMedCLIP model.<br>

## Use with Transformers

```python
import requests
from PIL import Image

from transformers import CLIPProcessor, CLIPModel

model = CLIPModel.from_pretrained("flaviagiammarino/pubmed-clip-vit-base-patch32")
processor = CLIPProcessor.from_pretrained("flaviagiammarino/pubmed-clip-vit-base-patch32")

url = "https://d168r5mdg5gtkq.cloudfront.net/medpix/img/full/synpic9078.jpg"
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)

inputs = processor(text=["Chest X-Ray", "Brain MRI", "Abdominal CT Scan"], images=image, return_tensors="pt", padding=True)
outputs = model(**inputs)
logits_per_image = outputs.logits_per_image # this is the image-text similarity score
probs = logits_per_image.softmax(dim=1) # we can take the softmax to get the label probabilities
```
