Current evaluation protocols for Vision-Language Models (VLMs) in Radiology Report Generation (RRG) rely on report-level metrics that measure lexical overlap or aggregate clinical correctness. However, such metrics do not test whether individual diagnostic statements stem from the actual pathological evidence visible in the image.
arXiv:2607. 20993v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large vision-language models are becoming increasingly dominant in 3D medical image interpretation, but we rarely know which internal units encode clinical findings or where that information lives in the representation.
