NV-Reason-CT is a generative vision‑language model designed for chest and abdominal CT analysis that preserves native 3D visual encoding and incorporates radiologist‑guided reasoning. The system couples a 3D vision transformer with a language model, feeding all visual tokens and their 3D coordinates directly into language decoding to maintain volumetric spatial information. Trained on a curated corpus of about 550,000 multimodal instruction examples, the model supports abnormality classification, report generation, and interactive reasoning, achieving strong performance on CT benchmarks and reducing expert interpretation time by 50%.

LUCAID is an agentic multimodal AI system designed for precision lung cancer pathology, integrating nine modules that cover the entire routine workflow—from quality control and tumor detection to histological subtyping, microenvironment profiling, cellularity quantification, and biomarker scoring (PD‑L1, MET, TROP‑2). The system generates automated structured reports and allows interactive querying of module outputs. In prospective clinical validation, LUCAID achieved 93.0% concordance with an expert‑panel reference standard for clinically actionable decisions, outperforming five experienced thoracic pathologists who ranged from 68.3% to 81.1% concordance.
Lung cancer tissue diagnostics is complex, as therapy decisions in precision oncology rely on the integration of histomorphological, immunohistochemical, and molecular features. Yet pathological asses...

The paper introduces the Cross‑Modal Triage Network (CMTN), a multimodal deep‑learning model that fuses a Swin Transformer V2 visual encoder with a PubMedBERT text encoder to perform severity‑based triage, pathology detection, and generate visual explanations for chest radiographs. Trained on 34,639 image‑text pairs from MIMIC‑CXR‑JPG, the CMTN achieves high ordinal agreement with reference labels (QWK = 0.9341) and excellent pathology detection (macro‑AUROC = 0.9970) while operating with 34 ms latency. However, a blinded clinical audit revealed low agreement with expert radiologists (QWK = 0.1399) and only modest spatial‑semantic concordance in heatmaps, underscoring the gap between algorithmic performance and clinical judgment.
The study evaluates the robustness of medical vision‑language models for tuberculosis screening on chest X‑rays by testing them across multiple datasets, prompts, and evaluation settings. Three specialized models (BioMedCLIP, CheXficient, MedSigLIP) and a general OpenCLIP model were audited on 12,200 images, producing 244,000 model–image–prompt scores. Results show that no model consistently outperforms others across all cohorts and reliability criteria, with prompt changes and control group composition significantly affecting AUROC, and that high training‑set performance does not reliably transfer to external cohorts.
