Abstract (arXiv)

Automated 3D radiology report generation often suffers from clinical hallucinations and a lack of the iterative verification found in human practice. While recent Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have advanced the field, they typically operate as monolithic "black-box" systems without the collaborative oversight characteristic of clinical workflows. To address these challenges, we propose MARCH (Multi-Agent Radiology Clinical Hierarchy), a multi-agent framework that emulates the professional hierarchy of radiology departments and assigns specialized roles to distinct agents. MARCH utilizes a Resident Agent for initial drafting with multi-scale CT feature extraction, multiple Fellow Agents for retrieval-augmented revision, and an Attending Agent that orchestrates an iterative, stance-based consensus discourse to resolve diagnostic discrepancies. On the RadGenome-ChestCT dataset, MARCH significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines in both clinical fidelity and linguistic accuracy. Our work demonstrates that modeling human-like organizational structures enhances the reliability of AI in high-stakes medical domains.
