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.

AlphaRAD introduces a grounded zero‑shot classification framework for chest radiology that leverages structured medical concepts extracted from reports and a novel α‑Corrected Binary Cross‑Entropy loss to reduce in‑batch noise. It also presents FLaS, a lightweight cross‑modal fusion module that factorizes VLPM representations into independent subspaces, improving spatial grounding without adding parameters. The method achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on 16 classification benchmarks and sets new records on several grounding, phrase‑grounding, and segmentation datasets.

arXiv:2510. 15042v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In the 3D medical image domain, vision-language pre-training is used to create vision-language encoders (VLEs) that can support radiologists by retrieving patients with similar abnormalities, predicting likelihoods of abnormality, or, with downstream adaptation, generating radiological reports.
Instance-Guided Report Anchoring (IGRA) is a model-agnostic module that links each abnormality instance in a chest CT to the corresponding finding in a radiology report during training, while discarding text components at inference. By reformulating free-text grounding as multi-label volumetric segmentation, IGRA allows all abnormality categories to be predicted in a single image-only forward pass. The method improves Dice scores by 22.5% over the strongest image-only baseline and matches state‑of‑the‑art performance on single-finding subsets, with consistent gains across multiple 3D segmentation backbones and datasets.
