Semantic Context-aware mOdality fUsion Transformer (SCOUT): A Context-Aware Multimodal Transformer for Concept-Grounded Pathology Report Generation

SCOUT is a concept‑grounded multimodal transformer that generates whole‑slide pathology reports by integrating local histological patterns, whole‑slide context, and expert‑curated diagnostic concepts. It uses evolving visual representations and recursively updated slide‑ and concept‑conditioned representations, with separate attention pathways during decoding that are fused adaptively for each token. Evaluated on TCGA‑BRCA, HistAI, and REG‑2025, SCOUT outperformed existing methods, improving BLEU, METEOR, and ROUGE‑L scores and raising the Clinical Report Quality Score on REG‑2025.

NV-Reason-CT: 3D Visual Language Model for CT Analysis

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%.

LanGuSTE: Language-Guided Coarse-to-Fine Patch Selection for Efficient Whole Slide Image Analysis

LanGuSTE is a patch‑selection framework for whole slide image analysis that uses vision‑language models and large language model knowledge. It introduces Cross‑Scale Visual Prompt Tuning to align low‑resolution and high‑resolution patches, and a coarse‑to‑fine selection module that encodes only informative high‑resolution patches. Experiments show LanGuSTE cuts overall processing time to about one‑third of the baseline while matching or surpassing diagnostic performance of exhaustive and state‑of‑the‑art methods.
