This research introduces a novel Chain-of-Medical-Thought (CoMT) framework that significantly reduces hallucinations in AI-generated medical reports while improving diagnostic accuracy.

• Addresses the critical challenge of factual inaccuracies in automated medical report generation
• Implements a step-by-step reasoning approach specifically designed for medical diagnosis workflows
• Demonstrates improved performance on medical report generation benchmarks
• Achieves better handling of rare diseases by reducing hallucinations in low-resource scenarios

This breakthrough matters because accurate, reliable AI-generated medical reports can dramatically improve radiologist workflow efficiency while maintaining diagnostic quality—potentially addressing healthcare staffing challenges without compromising patient safety.
