Large chest radiography archives are difficult to search because most studies are paired only with free-text reports rather than structured clinical annotations. Vision-language models offer a natural interface for text-to-image retrieval, but current biomedical models are primarily optimized for report-to-image matching rather than for satisfying short clinical search queries.

MultiViewDx is a physician‑validated multimodal instruction dataset that links medical imaging studies with patient context and normalizes heterogeneous reports into an evidence‑linked workflow (evidence → findings → differential discussion → diagnosis). The dataset covers a wide range of imaging modalities and uses a unified image‑text retriever to ensure that instruction synthesis is grounded in source‑supported evidence. Fine‑tuned models on MultiViewDx achieve the highest average accuracy on four MedVQA benchmarks and receive the strongest overall rating on JAMA Clinical Challenge cases, with ablations confirming the importance of case‑level multi‑view organization and evidence‑linked reasoning.

The study evaluates automatic tooth segmentation on panoramic radiographs using a large annotated corpus of 1,422 images and 42,142 tooth polygons. It finds that increasing input resolution improves boundary precision (mask mAP50‑95 rises from 0.656 to 0.717) while detection performance remains unchanged, and that architectural changes have minimal impact on in‑domain accuracy. Targeted interventions such as LoRA adaptation, promptable foundation models, and anatomical label assignment provide negligible gains, indicating that resolution and acquisition diversity should be prioritized over model novelty.

arXiv:2606. 06407v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Medical imaging artificial intelligence has achieved strong performance in isolated image interpretation, but remains poorly aligned with radiological practice, where diagnosis and follow-up rely on comparison across prior studies and analogous reference cases.

The paper introduces Clinical Intent Extraction (CIE), a task that transforms fragmented clinical action annotations into complete structured records called Clinical Intent Representation (CIR). CIR decomposes each action into verb, type, coded target, timing, condition, request‑intent (aligned to HL7 FHIR) and modality, adding dimensions absent in prior datasets. By re‑expressing five heterogeneous corpora into CIR, the authors create CIRCA, a benchmark of 10,011 harmonized intents with human‑validated subsets, crosswalks, and a deterministic FHIR R4 mapper, and demonstrate that existing models perform poorly on the full task, highlighting the need for targeted development.
