The paper evaluates large language model (LLM) judges for radiology report assessment across multiple imaging modalities and anatomical regions, comparing four existing metrics (RadFact, GREEN, FineRadScore, CRIMSON) with a new metric called VERT. GREEN emerges as the most robust among current metrics, while VERT improves correlation with radiologist judgments by up to 26% over GREEN. The study also shows that ensembling and lightweight fine‑tuning of the Qwen3‑30B model can yield additional performance gains and significant latency reductions.

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.

CineMR is a vision‑language model that integrates cardiac image‑analysis tools to perform quantitative assessment of cine cardiac MRI. It uses supervised fine‑tuning and Group Relative Policy Optimization to learn reliable tool invocation, achieving significantly higher accuracy on a multi‑cohort benchmark than existing medical VLMs. The model demonstrates that tool‑augmented reasoning improves ventricular measurement accuracy by up to 23.7% and is essential for robust quantitative CMR interpretation.

arXiv:2608. 00147v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language pretraining learns rich medical image representations from radiology reports, but previous model variants commonly operate within a single shared embedding space, so concept-level structure and interpretability must be recovered post hoc, limiting model transparency and, hence, clinical utility.

arXiv:2608. 03890v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A clinically useful chest X-ray system must go beyond fluent report generation: it should classify findings with tunable decision thresholds, localize them spatially, and derive the anatomical measurements upon which many diagnoses depend.
