arXiv:2607. 13738v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deep video models estimate left-ventricular ejection fraction (EF) from echocardiography with near-expert accuracy, and post-hoc attribution is increasingly used to certify that such models look at the right place.

arXiv:2607. 13738v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Attribution maps for echocardiographic ejection-fraction models are evaluated by their overlap with an expert left-ventricular annotation, compared against a chance level that is computed from an area ratio rather than measured.

arXiv:2606. 00123v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have shown strong performance on public medical benchmarks, yet existing evaluations often remain weak proxies for clinical use, relying on isolated inputs and simplified recognition-style tasks.

Therapy-induced cardiotoxicity is the leading non-oncological cause of treatment interruption in breast cancer patients, yet early, automated risk stratification from routine cardiac imaging remains an unsolved problem. We present EchoRisk, the first curated, multicentre, longitudinal echocardiography dataset with explicit cardiotoxicity labels, released as the primary technical reference for the EchoRisk-MICCAI 2026 challenge.
Current evaluation protocols for Vision-Language Models (VLMs) in Radiology Report Generation (RRG) rely on report-level metrics that measure lexical overlap or aggregate clinical correctness. However, such metrics do not test whether individual diagnostic statements stem from the actual pathological evidence visible in the image.
