arXiv:2608. 11335v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Clinical text can narrow down what to segment, but recent text-guided designs emphasize spatial alignment while overlooking frequency content that governs texture and boundaries.
arXiv:2607. 09481v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Text-guided medical image segmentation leverages clinical semantics to improve lesion delineation, yet many existing models bind cross-modal fusion, supervision, and decoder design into a task-specific architecture.
arXiv:2608. 08307v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Medical Visual Question Answering (VQA) requires aligning subtle visual evidence, including lesion texture, boundary sharpness, and diffuse density changes, with clinical language.
arXiv:2608. 13690v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Medical image segmentation is still largely treated as a vision-only problem, although clinical interpretation often relies on textual knowledge of anatomy, location, appearance, and surrounding context.
arXiv:2608. 10635v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Medical Vision-Language Models (Med-VLMs) excel at verbalizing visual content, yet precise visual perception, segmentation, and grounding remain challenging.
Medical image segmentation relies on the ability of encoder-decoder architectures to translate rich feature representations into accurate pixel-level predictions under challenging conditions such as low contrast, structural ambiguity, and scale variability. While recent advances in large-scale pretraining and transformer-based encoders have substantially improved feature extraction, segmentation accuracy remains constrained by decoder design, particularly in terms of cross-scale alignment, contextual integration, and boundary preservation.
arXiv:2506. 00633v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Generating semantically controllable 3D CT volumes from radiology reports requires more than a rich text encoder, it requires vision-language alignment grounded in volumetric space.
arXiv:2606. 29102v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Jointly learning to segment and classify medical images demands cross-task synergy, yet encoder-sharing architectures limit decoder reconstruction to task-private representations, permanently discarding the boundary cues and semantic priors each branch could supply to the other.
arXiv:2607. 22264v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autoregressive foundation models trained on tokenized electronic health records (EHRs) can support zero-shot clinical prediction, yet most operate on structured event codes alone, and do not incorporate multiple modalities in a principled way.
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.
arXiv:2608. 08713v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models offer a promising path toward automating radiology report generation, but applying them to full 3D CT volumes poses substantial computational challenges.
Integrating 3D medical images with vision-language models (VLMs) holds substantial promise for computer-aided diagnosis. However, volumetric images generate prohibitively long visual-token sequences with considerable spatial and inter-slice redundancy.
arXiv:2603. 11625v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While specialized Medical Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have achieved remarkable success in interpreting 2D and 3D medical modalities, their deployment for 3D volumetric data remains constrained by significant computational inefficiencies.
