arXiv:2511. 12110v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Despite notable progress in text-guided medical image segmentation nowadays, these methods are limited to single-round dialogues and fail to support multi-round reasoning, which is important for medical education scenarios.
arXiv:2606. 17958v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Semi-supervised medical image segmentation has emerged as a dominant research problem in medical image analysis, mitigating annotation scarcity by leveraging consistency regularization on unlabeled data.
arXiv:2609.37283v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Medical multimodal large language models (MLLMs) are increasingly expected not only to answer clinical questions, but also to localize the visual evide...
MedSAM-3 is a text‑promptable medical segmentation model that builds on the Segment Anything Model (SAM) by fine‑tuning it with medical images and semantic concept labels. It enables precise anatomical segmentation through open‑vocabulary text descriptions, moving beyond purely geometric prompts. The accompanying MedSAM-3 Agent incorporates multimodal large language models to perform complex reasoning and iterative refinement, and experiments across X‑ray, MRI, ultrasound, CT, and video modalities show it outperforms existing specialist and foundation models.

The paper introduces MedREAL, a unified framework that aligns linguistic reasoning with spatial grounding for medical visual question answering and segmentation. MedREAL employs Seg Anchored Reasoning Pooling (SARP) to extract semantic evidence from segmentation tokens and a Reasoning-to-Visual (R2V) fusion mechanism to integrate these features into a segmentation pipeline. Using the newly created MedRAVS-13K dataset, MedREAL achieves superior performance, reporting 68.49% gIoU and 70.47% cIoU, and generates evidence masks that consistently match textual diagnoses.
In clinical practice, patients often undergo multiple imaging examinations over successive visits, yielding longitudinal data. Modeling such temporal information is crucial for reliable assessment of disease progression and treatment response.

arXiv:2607. 04344v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While Large Vision-Language Models (VLMs) demonstrate remarkable generic capabilities, their clinical reasoning in specialized domains like ocular surface diseases (OSDs) is severely hindered by a paucity of high-fidelity, multimodal instruction-tuning data.
