arXiv:2607. 27154v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: CT vision-language foundation models have demonstrated promising performance across downstream tasks, but are typically trained with whole-volume representations that dilute fine-grained anatomical signals.
The paper introduces FFM-CP, a framework that fuses multiple pathology vision‑language foundation models for few‑shot learning. It aligns heterogeneous representations with an Orthogonal Procrustes transformation, then uses a unified graph to refine support‑image features and class prototypes across backbones. Experiments on six histopathology datasets show that FFM‑CP outperforms the best single adapted model in 50 of 54 few‑shot comparisons.

arXiv:2606. 17340v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate vision-based navigation in monocular endoscopy is difficult due to limited depth cues, weak tissue texture, non-rigid deformation, and substantial appearance variation across domains, all of which complicate pose estimation, depth prediction, and image-to-anatomy alignment.
arXiv:2606. 03180v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) for radiology have emerged as a scalable paradigm by leveraging image-report pairs naturally produced in clinical workflows.
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) hold immense potential to revolutionize clinical practice, yet deploying them in the medical domain is fundamentally a vision-centric challenge: models must absorb knowledge from heterogeneous 2D and 3D medical images, and evaluation protocols must align with radiologists' clinical practice and provide an accurate, fine-grained and factualness-driven assessment. In this paper, we introduce ClinFusion, a vision-centric MLLM designed for holistic medical understanding that systematically addresses these limitations.
Vision-language pre-training (VLP) holds great promise for general-purpose medical AI by leveraging radiology reports as rich textual supervision, yet existing methods struggle with 3D CT imaging due to inefficient visual backbones and coarse semantic alignment. To address these issues, we propose a tailored VLP framework featuring three key components: (1) a CNN-ViT hybrid encoder that replaces ViT's patch embedding with a 3D CNN backbone to efficiently capture local anatomical details while preserving global attention and compatibility with pre-trained cross-modal priors; (2) a disease-level contrastive learning mechanism using learnable query tokens to dynamically extract disease-specific semantics from full reports and align them with corresponding visual features, thereby disentangling distinct diseases within the same anatomical region; and (3) a diagnosis-aware prompt strategy that employs real clinical phrases and aggregated disease prototypes to bridge the pre-training-inference gap and enhance zero-shot diagnostic reliability.
