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.

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.

MetaStructAtlas is a large-scale dataset for whole-body PET/CT interpretation that combines multimodal imaging with integrated anatomical, metabolic, and semantic annotations. It includes 490 co-registered 3D PET and CT volumes, 50,470 organ-level segmentation masks, and grounded radiology reports. The accompanying MetaStructVQA benchmark offers 100,565 QA pairs that link diagnostic queries to visual evidence across modalities, enabling interactive 3D grounded visual question-answering.

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.
