Medical Graph RAG: Evidence-based Medical Large Language Model via Graph Retrieval-Augmented Generation
Junde Wu, Jiayuan Zhu, Yunli Qi, Jingkun Chen, Min Xu, Filippo Menolascina, Yueming Jin, Vicente Grau
Abstract
We introduce MedGraphRAG, a novel graphbased Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) framework designed to enhance LLMs in generating evidence-based medical responses, improving safety and reliability with private medical data. We introduce Triple Graph Construction and U-Retrieval to enhance GraphRAG, enabling holistic insights and evidence-based response generation for medical applications. Specifically, we connect user documents to credible medical sources and integrate Topdown Precise Retrieval with Bottom-up Response Refinement for balanced context awareness and precise indexing. Validated on 9 medical Q&A benchmarks, 2 health fact-checking datasets, and a long-form generation test set, MedGraphRAG outperforms state-of-the-art models while ensuring credible sourcing. Our code is publicly available.
