Mr3D-VL: A generalist vision language foundation model for Multiparametric 3D Magnetic Resonance Imaging

arXiv:2608. 12689v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) is a cornerstone for brain tumor diagnosis and treatment, yet current AI models face critical limitations: their lack of natural language interaction and interpretability impedes spatial information integration and cross-modal reasoning required clinically.

From Reasoning to Pixels: Grounded Medical Multimodal LLMs for VQA and Segmentation

The paper introduces MedREAL, a unified framework that aligns linguistic reasoning with spatial grounding for medical visual question answering and segmentation. MedREAL employs Seg Anchored Reasoning Pooling (SARP) to extract semantic evidence from segmentation tokens and a Reasoning-to-Visual (R2V) fusion mechanism to integrate these features into a segmentation pipeline. Using the newly created MedRAVS-13K dataset, MedREAL achieves superior performance, reporting 68.49% gIoU and 70.47% cIoU, and generates evidence masks that consistently match textual diagnoses.

Comprehensive language-image pre-training for 3D medical image understanding

arXiv:2510. 15042v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In the 3D medical image domain, vision-language pre-training is used to create vision-language encoders (VLEs) that can support radiologists by retrieving patients with similar abnormalities, predicting likelihoods of abnormality, or, with downstream adaptation, generating radiological reports.

Instance-Guided Report Anchoring for Text-Free 3D Abnormality Segmentation in Chest CT

Instance-Guided Report Anchoring (IGRA) is a model-agnostic module that links each abnormality instance in a chest CT to the corresponding finding in a radiology report during training, while discarding text components at inference. By reformulating free-text grounding as multi-label volumetric segmentation, IGRA allows all abnormality categories to be predicted in a single image-only forward pass. The method improves Dice scores by 22.5% over the strongest image-only baseline and matches state‑of‑the‑art performance on single-finding subsets, with consistent gains across multiple 3D segmentation backbones and datasets.
