However, current computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) methods focus on common diseases, leading to inadequate detection of rare conditions due to the absence of comprehensive datasets. To overcome this, we present a novel benchmark for long-tailed multi-label classification in CXRs, encapsulating both common and rare thoracic diseases. Our approach includes developing the \"LTML-MIMIC-CXR\" dataset, an augmentation of MIMIC-CXR with 26 additional rare diseases. We propose a baseline method for this classification challenge, integrating adaptive negative regularization to address negative logits' over-suppression in tail classes, and a large loss reconsideration strategy for correcting noisy labels from automated annotations. Our evaluation on LTML-MIMIC-CXR demonstrates significant advancements in rare disease detection. This work establishes a foundation for robust CAD methods, achieving a balance in identifying a spectrum of thoracic diseases in CXRs.
