The paper introduces CalSAM, a lightweight adaptation framework that fine‑tunes only the mask decoder of the Segment Anything Model (SAM) while keeping its encoders frozen. CalSAM employs a Feature Fisher Information Penalty (FIP) to reduce encoder sensitivity to domain shift and a Confidence Misalignment Penalty (CMP) to curb overconfident voxel‑wise errors. Experiments on cross‑center, scanner‑shift, and motion‑corrupted brain MRI datasets show significant gains in Dice similarity coefficient, Hausdorff distance, and expected calibration error, with only a modest training‑time overhead.

The paper proposes a lightweight residual refiner that post‑processes the outputs of a two‑model ensemble for brain‑MRI inpainting. By training the refiner with an λ‑weighted combination of α loss and SSIM, the authors achieve a modest but statistically significant SSIM improvement (from 0.8767 to 0.8780 on a held‑out set) without altering MSE. Ablations show that adding a third model or using classical unsharp masking does not yield similar gains, indicating the improvement comes from learned sharpening rather than generic post‑processing.
MVC-Bench is a calibration-focused benchmark for medical vision‑language models, evaluating how well these models express confidence across different modalities, backbones, and domain shifts. It tests robustness to modality, backbone, and domain changes, the effectiveness of calibration and prompt‑tuning strategies, and stability under prompt‑template and random‑seed variations. The benchmark includes 1638 experiments, reporting accuracy and Expected Calibration Error (ECE) along with other calibration metrics, and introduces a simple train‑time calibration method, Multi‑Class Margin (MCM) regularization, that achieves the lowest ECE in most settings.
MVC-Bench is a new benchmark designed to evaluate the calibration of vision‑language models (VLMs) and medical VLMs (Medical‑VLMs) for medical image classification. It tests calibration across robustness to modality, backbone, and domain shift; effectiveness of calibration strategies and prompt‑tuning methods; and stability under prompt‑template and random‑seed variations. The benchmark includes eight backbones, three medical modalities (fundus imaging, histopathology, chest X‑ray), and compares post‑hoc, train‑time, and zero‑shot calibration approaches, reporting accuracy, Expected Calibration Error (ECE), Maximum Calibration Error (MCE), and Adaptive Calibration Error (ACE) over 1,638 experiments, while also proposing a Multi‑Class Margin (MCM) regularization technique that improves ECE in most settings.
