## AMD Hardware Stack
| Component | Technology |
|---|---|
| **GPU** | AMD Instinct MI300X |
| **GPU Software** | ROCm β AMD's open-source GPU compute platform |

## Key Features
### π΄ Real-Time SSE Streaming
Watch the pipeline execute live, agent by agent. Every status transition β WAITING β RUNNING β DONE β streams to the dashboard as it happens via Server-Sent Events. Per-agent runtime counters track exactly how long each step takes.
### ποΈ Multimodal Vision Analysis
Qwen processes the raw medical image natively. It returns structured JSON: detected modality, technical quality assessment, per-region findings with anatomical names, radiological descriptions, severity levels (NORMAL / INCIDENTAL / SIGNIFICANT / CRITICAL), confidence scores (0β100), and anomaly flags.
### π¬ Medical Knowledge Base + ICD-10 Mapping
The Research Agent cross-references vision findings against 15 curated clinical conditions spanning pulmonary, neurological, abdominal, musculoskeletal, and vascular pathology. Every differential diagnosis comes with an ICD-10 code, match probability, and a sentence explaining exactly why the condition matches the findings.
### π‘οΈ Critic Agent QA
Every report goes through a peer-review pass before delivery. The Critic checks that all anomalies from the Vision Agent appear in the report, flags low-confidence findings, assigns a quality score (completeness 30% + accuracy 40% + safety 20% + compliance 10%), and hard-caps the score at 40/100 if a core agent failed.
### π₯ DICOM Support
Upload real `.dcm` files. MediAgent extracts 20+ metadata fields β patient name, study date, institution, modality, body part, KVP, slice thickness, pixel spacing, image dimensions β and pre-populates the intake form automatically. MONOCHROME1 inversion and multi-frame handling included.
### π FHIR R4 Export
Every report can be exported as a fully conformant HL7 FHIR R4 DiagnosticReport resource. Includes an inline Patient resource, Observation resources, LOINC and SNOMED CT codes, severity mapping, full report text in `presentedForm`, and custom extensions for AI quality score and pipeline status. Ready to import into Epic, Cerner, or any FHIR-capable EMR.
### π¬ Post-Report Clinical Chat
After the report is delivered, a ClinicalAdvisorAgent is available for follow-up questions. It answers in 2β4 sentences with direct reference to the report findings. Qwen's thinking/reasoning mode is explicitly disabled β answers are fast, direct, and clinical.
### π Hard Safety Enforcement
- **16 deterministic safety keywords** β chest pain, stroke symptoms, acute trauma, hemoptysis, sepsis, spinal trauma, and more β trigger urgent flags regardless of LLM output.
- **Age-based alerts** β pediatric (<18) and geriatric (>75) cases are automatically flagged for expert review.
- **Mandatory AI disclaimer** β enforced at two independent layers (Report Agent + Critic Agent) and cannot be bypassed or modified by the LLM.
- **Graceful degradation** β the pipeline produces a report even if individual agents fail, always marking what succeeded and what didn't.
### π Client-Side PDF Export
Full radiology report exported as a formatted PDF directly in the browser using jsPDF β severity color banner, all six report sections, DICOM metadata, QA score. No server round-trip needed.
---
## Agent Architecture
### IntakeAgent
Validates the image payload (minimum size, valid base64), applies deterministic safety triage, and normalizes clinical language. For simple inputs under 120 characters it skips the LLM entirely and uses a built-in layman-to-medical term map (22 entries: "can't breathe" β "dyspnea", "lump" β "mass/nodule", "dizzy" β "dizziness/vertigo", etc.). Only calls the LLM for complex clinical narratives with comorbidities or medical history. Falls back cleanly to raw input preservation if the LLM is unavailable.
### VisionAgent
Sends the base64 image and clinical context to Qwen at temperature 0.0 with a strict JSON schema enforced via system prompt. Handles malformed enum values from the LLM with safe conversion fallbacks β a single bad field never drops a finding. Tracks token usage and anomaly counts in the output metadata.
### ResearchAgent
Pre-filters the knowledge base to only conditions compatible with the detected modality before sending to the LLM β reducing prompt size and improving accuracy. Enforces strict output rules: only conditions from the KB, 2β4 differentials maximum, 5% minimum probability, exact ICD-10 codes, and evidence sentences that actually explain the match.
### ReportAgent
Builds a structured prompt with clearly labeled sections β clinical history, imaging technique, findings block, differentials block β and asks the LLM to synthesize them into a formal ACR/NICE radiology report. The disclaimer is overwritten to the exact regulatory string after LLM generation, unconditionally.
### CriticAgent
Operates at temperature 0.0 for fully deterministic QA. Receives the draft report and the full pipeline state including raw vision findings. Checks every anomaly is accounted for, flags low-confidence observations, and appends a `[QUALITY ASSESSMENT]` block to the recommendations section with score, issues, and uncertainty warnings.
### ClinicalAdvisorAgent
Activated only after report delivery, scoped to the specific report's findings. Strips all Qwen thinking output via multi-layer regex before returning the answer β handles `` XML blocks, markdown think fences, and plain-text reasoning preambles.

## LLM Client
The `LLMClient` wraps the OpenAI Python SDK pointed at the local vLLM endpoint. It handles:
- Text completions with optional JSON mode enforcement
- Multimodal completions with base64 image injection
- Token-level streaming with an `on_token` callback
- 3-attempt retry loop with 1-second flat backoff
- 90-second timeout per call
- Dual-strategy JSON extraction: direct parse first, then character-by-character brace-matching fallback for responses where the LLM adds conversational padding
---

## Clinical Safety
MediAgent is built with clinical safety as a first-class concern, not an afterthought.
**Mandatory disclaimer** β enforced at two independent code layers and cannot be overridden by any LLM output:
> *"This analysis is AI-generated and must be reviewed by a licensed radiologist before any clinical decisions are made."*
**Hard safety rules that run deterministically, without LLM involvement:**
- 16 urgent clinical keywords trigger immediate flags before any AI processing
- Pediatric and geriatric age thresholds auto-flag for specialist review
- Quality score is hard-capped at 40/100 if core agents (Vision, Report) fail
- Low-confidence findings are always flagged with confirmatory imaging recommendations
- The disclaimer is re-enforced after every LLM call, unconditionally
**This system is a decision support tool, not a clinical decision maker.** Every output is intended to assist, not replace, a licensed radiologist.
---
