The paper introduces Locked Image Multiple Instance PreTraining (LIMIT), a method that aligns slide‑level pathology reports with patch‑level visual features by freezing a vision encoder and fine‑tuning a text encoder. LIMIT uses report embeddings as cross‑attention queries over bags of patch features, optimizing slide representations via InfoNCE. Applying LIMIT, the authors create CONCH‑Z, which achieves state‑of‑the‑art zero‑shot performance on 22 pathology tasks, outperforming vision‑language encoders trained on curated caption datasets and narrowing the gap with larger slide‑level foundation models.

SCOUT is a concept‑grounded multimodal transformer that generates whole‑slide pathology reports by integrating local histological patterns, whole‑slide context, and expert‑curated diagnostic concepts. It uses evolving visual representations and recursively updated slide‑ and concept‑conditioned representations, with separate attention pathways during decoding that are fused adaptively for each token. Evaluated on TCGA‑BRCA, HistAI, and REG‑2025, SCOUT outperformed existing methods, improving BLEU, METEOR, and ROUGE‑L scores and raising the Clinical Report Quality Score on REG‑2025.
