How to use from
SGLang
Install from pip and serve model
# Install SGLang from pip:
pip install sglang

python3 -m sglang.launch_server \
    --model-path "Sunanhe/MedDr_0401" \
    --host 0.0.0.0 \
    --port 30000
# Call the server using curl (OpenAI-compatible API):
curl -X POST "http://localhost:30000/v1/chat/completions" \
	-H "Content-Type: application/json" \

Model Summary

MedDr is a large-scale generalist vision-language model for healthcare. It is built upon InternVL and trained using a diagnosis-guided bootstrapping strategy that leverages both image and label information to construct high-quality vision-language datasets.

MedDr supports diverse medical imaging modalities:

  • ๐Ÿซ Radiology (X-ray, CT, MRI)
  • ๐Ÿ”ฌ Pathology
  • ๐Ÿงด Dermatology
  • ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ Retinography
  • ๐Ÿ”ญ Endoscopy

During inference, MedDr employs a retrieval-augmented medical diagnosis strategy to enhance generalization ability.


Capabilities

  • Visual Question Answering (VQA) for medical images
  • Medical report generation
  • Medical image diagnosis across multiple modalities

Usage

Environment Setup

This model is built on InternVL. Please follow the INSTALLATION.md to set up the environment.

Quick Demo

# Clone the GitHub repository
# git clone https://github.com/sunanhe/MedDr.git

# Edit demo.py and set model_path to your local checkpoint directory
# Then run:
# python3 demo.py

See demo.py in the GitHub repository for a full example.
