RadKev: An Open-Weight Decision Model for Radiology

This is an official announcement record

Firsthand records what medRxiv Preprints announced and links to the original. The wording below is theirs, not ours.

Background: Many radiology decisions, such as whether a report describes a finding or how urgently a study should be read, are choices among a fixed set of answers. Decision models return a probability for each permitted answer in one step, without generating text, and an open-weight model can run within a hospital so that patient data stay local. No decision model has yet been specialized for radiology and compared with large language models (LLMs). Methods: We fine-tuned the general-purpose decision models Kev-27B (Qwen3.8-27B backbone) and Kev-9B on 36,109 records from public radiology data
