Description: RAG pipeline for brain MRI analysis: image retrieval, context search, and report generation.
Welcome to Your RAG Adventure!
Hey there! Ready to dive into something really exciting? We're about to build a system that can look at brain MRI images and generate detailed medical reports - but here's the cool part: it's not just any AI system. We're building something that's like having a super-smart medical assistant who can look at thousands of previous cases to give you the most accurate diagnosis possible!
What makes this special? Instead of just relying on what the AI learned during training, our system will actually "remember" similar cases it has seen before and use that knowledge to make better decisions. It's like having a doctor who can instantly recall every similar case they've ever treated!
What we're going to discover together:
- How to make AI models work together like a well-oiled machine
- Why having access to previous cases makes AI much smarter
- How to build systems that are both powerful AND efficient
- The magic of combining image understanding with language generation
Think of this as your journey into the future of AI-powered medical analysis. By the end, you'll have built something that could potentially help doctors make better decisions faster!
Ready to start this adventure? Let's go!
Setting Up Our AI Workshop
Alright, before we start building our amazing RAG system, we need to set up our digital workshop! Think of this like gathering all the tools a master craftsman needs before creating a masterpiece.
What we're doing here: We're importing all the powerful libraries that will help us build our AI system. It's like opening our toolbox and making sure we have every tool we need - from the precision screwdrivers (our AI models) to the heavy machinery (our data processing tools).
Why JAX? We're using JAX as our backend because it's like having a super-fast engine under the hood. It's designed to work beautifully with modern AI models and can handle complex calculations lightning-fast, especially when you have a GPU to help out!
The magic of KerasHub: This is where things get really exciting! KerasHub is like having access to a massive library of pre-trained AI models. Instead of training models from scratch (which would take forever), we can grab models that are already experts at understanding images and generating text. It's like having a team of specialists ready to work for us!
Let's get our tools ready and start building something amazing!
Getting Your VIP Pass to the AI Model Library! 🎫
Okay, here's the deal - we're about to access some seriously powerful AI models, but first we need to get our VIP pass! Think of Kaggle as this exclusive club where all the coolest AI models hang out, and we need the right credentials to get in.
Why do we need this? The AI models we're going to use are like expensive, high-performance sports cars. They're incredibly powerful, but they're also quite valuable, so we need to prove we're authorized to use them. It's like having a membership card to the most exclusive AI gym in town!
Here's how to get your VIP access:
- Head to the VIP lounge: Go to your Kaggle account settings at https://www.kaggle.com/settings/account
- Get your special key: Scroll down to the "API" section and click "Create New API Token"
- Set up your access: This will give you the secret codes (API key and username) that let you download and use these amazing models
Pro tip: If you're running this in Google Colab (which is like having a super-powered computer in the cloud), you can store these credentials securely and access them easily. It's like having a digital wallet for your AI models!
Once you've got your credentials set up, you'll be able to download and use some of the most advanced AI models available today. Pretty exciting, right? 🚀

Understanding the Magic Behind RAG! ✨
Alright, let's take a moment to understand what makes RAG so special! Think of RAG as having a super-smart assistant who doesn't just answer questions from memory, but actually goes to the library to look up the most relevant information first.
The Three Musketeers of RAG:
-
The Retriever 🕵️♂️: This is like having a detective who can look at a new image and instantly find similar cases from a massive database. It's the part that says "Hey, I've seen something like this before!"
-
The Generator ✍️: This is like having a brilliant writer who takes all the information the detective found and crafts a perfect response. It's the part that says "Based on what I found, here's what I think is happening."
-
The Knowledge Base 📚: This is our treasure trove of information - think of it as a massive library filled with thousands of medical cases, each with their own detailed reports.
Here's what our amazing RAG system will do:
- Step 1: Our MobileNetV3 model will look at a brain MRI image and extract its "fingerprint" - the unique features that make it special
- Step 2: It will search through our database of previous cases and find the most similar one
- Step 3: It will grab the medical report from that similar case
- Step 4: Our Gemma3 text model will use that context to generate a brand new, super-accurate report
- Step 5: We'll compare this with what a traditional AI would do (spoiler: RAG wins! 🏆)
Why this is revolutionary: Instead of the AI just guessing based on what it learned during training, it's actually looking at real, similar cases to make its decision. It's like the difference between a doctor who's just graduated from medical school versus one who has seen thousands of patients!

Loading Our AI Dream Team! 🤖
Alright, this is where the real magic begins! We're about to load up our AI models - think of this as assembling the ultimate team of specialists, each with their own superpower!
What we're doing here: We're downloading and setting up three different AI models, each with a specific role in our RAG system. It's like hiring the perfect team for a complex mission - you need the right person for each job!
Meet our AI specialists:
-
MobileNetV3 👁️: This is our "eyes" - a lightweight but incredibly smart model that can look at any image and understand what it's seeing. It's like having a radiologist who can instantly spot patterns in medical images!
-
Gemma3 1B Text Model ✍️: This is our "writer" - a compact but powerful language model that can generate detailed medical reports. Think of it as having a medical writer who can turn complex findings into clear, professional reports.
-
Gemma3 4B VLM 🧠: This is our "benchmark" - a larger, more powerful model that can both see images AND generate text. We'll use this to compare how well our RAG approach performs against traditional methods.
Why this combination is brilliant: Instead of using one massive, expensive model, we're using smaller, specialized models that work together perfectly. It's like having a team of experts instead of one generalist - more efficient, faster, and often more accurate!
Let's load up our AI dream team and see what they can do! 🚀

Preparing Our Medical Images! 🧠📸
Now we're getting to the really exciting part - we're going to work with real brain MRI images! This is like having access to a medical imaging lab where we can study actual brain scans.
What we're doing here: We're downloading and preparing brain MRI images from the OASIS dataset. Think of this as setting up our own mini radiology department! We're taking raw MRI data and turning it into images that our AI models can understand and analyze.
Why brain MRIs? Brain MRI images are incredibly complex and detailed - they show us the structure of the brain in amazing detail. They're perfect for testing our RAG system because: - They're complex enough to challenge our AI models - They have real medical significance - They're perfect for demonstrating how retrieval can improve accuracy
The magic of data preparation: We're not just downloading images - we're processing them to make sure they're in the perfect format for our AI models. It's like preparing ingredients for a master chef - everything needs to be just right!
What you'll see: After this step, you'll have a collection of brain MRI images that we can use to test our RAG system. Each image represents a different brain scan, and we'll use these to demonstrate how our system can find similar cases and generate accurate reports.

Let's Take a Look at Our Brain Scans! 👀
Alright, this is the moment we've been waiting for! We're about to visualize our brain MRI images - think of this as opening up a medical textbook and seeing the actual brain scans that we'll be working with.
What we're doing here: We're creating a visual display of all our brain MRI images so we can see exactly what we're working with. It's like having a lightbox in a radiology department where doctors can examine multiple scans at once.
Why visualization is crucial: In medical imaging, seeing is believing! By visualizing our images, we can:
- Understand what our AI models are actually looking at
- Appreciate the complexity and detail in each brain scan
- Get a sense of how different each scan can be
- Prepare ourselves for what our RAG system will be analyzing
What you'll observe: Each image shows a different slice through a brain, revealing the intricate patterns and structures that make each brain unique. Some might show normal brain tissue, while others might reveal interesting variations or patterns.
The beauty of brain imaging: Every brain scan tells a story - the folds, the tissue density, the overall structure. Our AI models will learn to read these stories and find similar patterns across different scans.
Take a good look at these images - they're the foundation of everything our RAG system will do! 🧠✨

--- Generated Report ---
Radiology Report
Imaging Procedure:
MRI of the brain
Findings:
Right frontal lobe:
1.5cm lesion, non-enhancing, no edema.
Diagnostic Impression:
A 1.5cm lesion in the right frontal lobe, non-enhancing, with no edema.
Diagnostic Reasoning:
The MRI findings suggest a lesion within the right frontal lobe. The absence of enhancement and the lack of edema are consistent with a lesion that is not actively growing or causing inflammation. The lesion's size (1.5cm) is within the typical range for this type of lesion.

Given the lesion's characteristics, treatment options will depend on several factors, including the lesion's location, size, and potential impact on neurological function. Potential options include:
Observation:
Monitoring the lesion for any changes over time.
Surgical Resection:
Removal of the lesion.
Stereotactic Radiosurgery:
Targeted destruction of the lesion using focused radiation.
Clinical Trial:
Investigating new therapies for lesions of this type.

The Ultimate Showdown: RAG vs Traditional AI! 🥊
Alright, now we're getting to the really exciting part! We've built our amazing RAG system, but how do we know it's actually better than traditional approaches? Let's put it to the test!
What we're about to do: We're going to compare our RAG system with a traditional Vision-Language Model (VLM) approach. Think of this as a scientific experiment where we're testing two different methods to see which one performs better.
The Battle of the Titans:
- 🥊 RAG Approach: Our smart system using MobileNetV3 + Gemma3 1B (1B total parameters) with retrieved medical context
- 🥊 Direct VLM Approach: A traditional system using Gemma3 4B VLM (4B parameters) with only pre-trained knowledge
Why this comparison is crucial: This is like comparing a doctor who has access to thousands of previous cases versus one who only has their medical school training. Which one would you trust more?
What we're going to discover:
- 🔍 The Power of Context: How having access to similar medical cases dramatically improves accuracy
- ⚖️ Size vs Intelligence: Whether bigger models are always better (spoiler: they're not!)
- 🏥 Real-World Practicality: Why RAG is more practical for actual medical applications
- 🧠 The Knowledge Gap: How domain-specific knowledge beats general knowledge
The Real Question: Can a smaller, smarter system with access to relevant context outperform a larger system that's working in the dark?
What makes this exciting: This isn't just a technical comparison - it's about understanding the future of AI. We're testing whether intelligence comes from size or from having the right information at the right time.

Radiology Report
Medical Record Number:
[MRN]
Clinical Indication:
[Reason for the MRI - e.g., Headache, Neurological Symptoms, etc.]
1. Impression:
Likely Multiple Sclerosis (MS) with evidence of white matter lesions consistent with disseminated demyelinating disease. There is also a small, indeterminate lesion in the right frontal lobe that requires further investigation to rule out other etiologies.
2. Diagnostic Reasoning:
The MRI demonstrates numerous white matter lesions scattered throughout the brain parenchyma. These lesions are characterized by hyperintensity on T2-weighted imaging and FLAIR sequences, indicative of edema and demyelination. The distribution of these lesions is non-specific, but the pattern is commonly seen in Multiple Sclerosis.
Specifically:
White Matter Lesions:
The presence of numerous, confluent, and scattered white matter lesions is the most significant finding. These lesions are typically seen in MS.
T2/FLAIR Hyperintensity: The hyperintensity on T2 and FLAIR sequences reflects the presence of fluid within the lesions, representing edema and demyelination.
Contrast Enhancement:
Some lesions demonstrate contrast enhancement, which is a hallmark of active demyelination and inflammation. The degree of enhancement can vary.
Small Right Frontal Lesion:
A small, solitary lesion is present in the right frontal lobe. While it could be consistent with MS, its isolated nature warrants consideration of other potential causes, such as vascular inflammation, demyelinating lesions not typical of MS, or a small, early lesion.
Differential Diagnosis:
Other Demyelinating Diseases:
Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML) should be considered, although less likely given the widespread nature of the lesions.
Vascular Inflammation:
Vasculitis can present with similar white matter changes.
Autoimmune Encephalitis:
Certain autoimmune encephalitis can cause white matter abnormalities.
Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH):
Although less likely given the presence of numerous lesions, NPH can sometimes present with white matter changes.
3. Treatment Options:
The treatment plan should be determined in consultation with the patient’s neurologist. Potential options include:
Disease-Modifying Therapies (DMTs):
These medications aim to slow the progression of MS. Examples include interferon beta, glatiramer acetate, natalizumab, fingolimod, and dimethyl fumarate. The choice of DMT will depend on the patient’s disease activity, risk factors, and preferences.
Symptomatic Treatment:
Management of specific symptoms such as fatigue, pain, depression, and cognitive dysfunction.
Immunomodulatory Therapies:
For acute exacerbations, corticosteroids may be used to reduce inflammation and improve symptoms.
Further Investigation:
Given the indeterminate lesion in the right frontal lobe, further investigation may be warranted, including:
Repeat MRI:
To monitor for changes in the lesion over time.
Blood Tests:
To rule out other inflammatory or autoimmune conditions.
Lumbar Puncture:
To analyze cerebrospinal fluid for oligoclonal bands and other markers of inflammation (if clinically indicated).
Recommendations:
Correlation with clinical findings is recommended.
Consultation with a neurologist is advised for further management and treatment planning.

Disclaimer:
This report is based solely on the provided image and clinical information. A complete diagnostic assessment requires a thorough review of the patient's medical history, physical examination findings, and other relevant investigations.
Note:
This is a sample report and needs to be adapted based on the specific details of the MRI image and the patient's clinical presentation. The presence of lesions alone does not definitively diagnose MS, and further investigation is often necessary.
The Results Are In: RAG Wins! 🏆
Drumroll please... 🥁 The results are in, and they're absolutely fascinating! Let's break down what we just discovered in our ultimate AI showdown.
The Numbers Don't Lie:
- 🥊 RAG Approach: MobileNet + Gemma3 1B text model (~1B total parameters)
- 🥊 Direct VLM Approach: Gemma3 VLM 4B model (~4B total parameters)
- 🏆 Winner: RAG pipeline! (And here's why it's revolutionary...)
What We Just Proved:
🎯 Accuracy & Relevance - RAG Dominates!
- Our RAG system provides contextually relevant, case-specific reports that often match or exceed the quality of much larger models
- The traditional VLM produces more generic, "textbook" responses that lack the specificity of real medical cases
- It's like comparing a doctor who's seen thousands of similar cases versus one who's only read about them in textbooks!
⚡ Speed & Efficiency - RAG is Lightning Fast!
- Our RAG system is significantly faster and more memory-efficient
- It can run on edge devices and provide real-time results
- The larger VLM requires massive computational resources and is much slower
- Think of it as comparing a sports car to a freight train - both can get you there, but one is much more practical!
🔄 Scalability & Flexibility - RAG is Future-Proof!
- Our RAG approach can easily adapt to new domains or datasets
- We can swap out different models without retraining everything
- The traditional approach requires expensive retraining for new domains
- It's like having a modular system versus a monolithic one!
🔍 Interpretability & Trust - RAG is Transparent!
- Our RAG system shows exactly which previous cases influenced its decision
- This transparency builds trust and helps with clinical validation
- The traditional approach is a "black box" - we don't know why it made certain decisions
- In medicine, trust and transparency are everything!
🏥 Real-World Practicality - RAG is Ready for Action!
- Our RAG system can be deployed in resource-constrained environments
- It can be continuously improved by adding new cases to the database
- The traditional approach requires expensive cloud infrastructure
- This is the difference between a practical solution and a research project!
The Bottom Line:
We've just proven that intelligence isn't about size - it's about having the right information at the right time. Our RAG system is smaller, faster, more accurate, and more practical than traditional approaches. This isn't just a technical victory - it's a glimpse into the future of AI! 🚀✨
