MedUAG: Unified Understanding and Generation for Medical Multimodal Models

The paper introduces MedUAG, a unified medical multimodal model that supports both understanding and generation tasks. It presents MedUAGCorpus, the largest dataset of over 6 million instances across 14 imaging modalities, and MedUAGBench, a benchmark covering 12 diverse generation tasks with standardized protocols. Experiments show that MedUAG performs strongly across many medical understanding and generation tasks, setting a competitive baseline for future medical multimodal systems.

SynerMedGen: Synergizing Medical Multimodal Understanding with Generation via Task Alignment

SynerMedGen is a unified framework that aligns medical multimodal understanding with generation tasks through task alignment. It introduces three generation‑aligned understanding tasks and a two‑stage training strategy that transfers representations learned during understanding to medical image synthesis. The model achieves strong zero‑shot performance on 22 synthesis tasks and outperforms state‑of‑the‑art specialized and unified models when combined with generation training, supported by a new 1M‑sample SynerMed dataset.

ClinFusion: A Vision-Centric Multimodal LLM System for Holistic Medical Understanding

arXiv:2607. 24743v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: 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.

ClinFusion: A Vision-Centric Multimodal LLM System for Holistic Medical Understanding

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.
