The paper investigates how medical vision‑language models (VLMs) behave when faced with distribution shifts such as changes in acquisition domain, supervision, or evaluation protocol. Using datasets like NIH ChestXray14, CheXpert, PadChest, and OpenI, the authors isolate cross‑dataset visual transfer, evaluate multimodal alignment, and quantify source‑proxy leakage in frozen embeddings. They find that self‑supervised visual initialization improves transfer, adversarial adaptation is only marginally helpful, and that multimodal retrieval performance drops under external stress tests while source‑proxy information remains recoverable, highlighting hidden failure modes in medical VLMs.

The study presents an explainable multimodal deep‑learning framework that combines a 3D CNN for T1‑weighted MRI with a feedforward network for harmonized clinical and demographic data to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease. Using 6,479 ADNI records and 1,703 OASIS‑3 records, the authors compare various model configurations on three‑way and pairwise diagnostic tasks, finding that performance and explanations vary by task, modality, fusion strategy, and cohort. SHAP and Integrated Gradients consistently highlight the MMSE score as the most influential tabular feature, while CAM‑based explanations differ across model setups and cohorts, indicating that explainability is not a stable property under cohort shift.
