arXiv:2606. 12953v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present OpenMedQ, a medical vision-language model pretrained on the broadest fully-open medical mix to date: 14 datasets totaling ~3.
arXiv:2606. 12169v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: High-stakes clinical use of large vision-language models (LVLMs) requires reasoning that is grounded in visual evidence and clinical knowledge, not just correct final answers.
arXiv:2607. 05310v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Model editing promises a fast, targeted way to correct post-deployment mistakes in medical vision-language models (VLMs) without costly retraining.

arXiv:2606. 06696v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision and language models (VLMs) hold immense promise to transform biomedical imaging workflows, from detecting lesions in chest X-rays to profiling cellular features in microscopy.
Lumen is a pathology vision‑language model that aligns frozen unimodal foundation models (Virchow2 and BioMedBERT) using rank‑4 adapters and projection heads, training only 0.40% of the total parameters on the QUILT‑1M corpus. It achieves the highest mean chance‑corrected balanced accuracy (0.546) across nine zero‑shot patch benchmarks and demonstrates strong performance on lymph‑node metastasis detection, with AUROC scores of 0.964 internally and 0.955 externally. While it ranks third in cross‑modal retrieval, Lumen’s low‑parameter training yields competitive results at both patch and slide levels.

The paper introduces the Medical Data Standardization Benchmark (MDS‑Bench), which evaluates vision‑language models (VLMs) on their ability to process raw, heterogeneous medical data. Models must identify source formats, convert raw images into VLM‑compatible inputs, extract relevant text, and organize the results into structured image‑text pairs. Experiments show that even the top VLM, Gemini 3 Flash, achieves only a 48.6% end‑to‑end success rate, underscoring the challenge of raw data standardization in clinical settings.

arXiv:2607. 03650v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Extracting textual information from scanned medical documents, such as external laboratory reports and manually filled forms, has been a major challenge in modern electronic health records (EHRs).
The paper introduces MedUAG, a unified medical multimodal model that supports both understanding and generation tasks. It presents MedUAGCorpus, the largest dataset of over 6 million instances across 14 imaging modalities, and MedUAGBench, a benchmark covering 12 diverse generation tasks with standardized protocols. Experiments show that MedUAG performs strongly across many medical understanding and generation tasks, setting a competitive baseline for future medical multimodal systems.
arXiv:2603. 19957v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Pathology reports are structured, multi-granular documents encoding diagnostic conclusions, histological grades, and ancillary test results across one or more anatomical sites; yet existing pathology vision-language models (VLMs) reduce this output to a flat label or free-form text.
