Mr3D-VL: A generalist vision language foundation model for Multiparametric 3D Magnetic Resonance Imaging

arXiv:2608. 12689v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) is a cornerstone for brain tumor diagnosis and treatment, yet current AI models face critical limitations: their lack of natural language interaction and interpretability impedes spatial information integration and cross-modal reasoning required clinically.

Med-OPD: Improving Medical Vision-Language Models via Evidence-Aware On-Policy Distillation

arXiv:2607. 16303v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Medical Vision-Language Models (Med-VLMs) require reliable reasoning from fine-grained visual evidence, yet existing models can produce plausible clinical answers by relying on language priors or medical templates rather than truly attending to diagnosis-critical regions.

Evaluating Multi-Turn Multimodal Diagnostic Reasoning on Challenging Real-World Clinical Cases

arXiv:2607. 25933v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Clinical diagnostic evaluation should not only assess whether models can provide correct diagnoses, but also reflect the realities of clinical practice, including progressive disclosure of multimodal information, dynamic updating of diagnostic hypotheses, and continuous refinement of clinical reasoning.
