CT‑ΔBench is a new benchmark designed to evaluate vision‑language models on longitudinal 3D medical imaging difference reporting. It provides patient‑level split data, change‑aware metrics, and physician‑validated references to assess clinically meaningful interval changes between two CT scans. The paper also introduces DeltaMed, a baseline model that directly reasons over paired CT scans, and compares it to an indirect two‑stage approach that first generates single‑timepoint reports before differencing.

TALON is a Temporally Aware Longitudinal framework for radiology report generation that adaptively integrates variable‑length patient histories. Its Dual‑Channel Temporal Fusion Module compares each prior examination with the current one through similarity and change channels, using channel‑specific attention and a prior‑specific gate to weigh relevance and suppress redundancy. Experiments on MIMIC‑CXR demonstrate that TALON surpasses state‑of‑the‑art methods on clinical efficacy and graph‑based metrics, with performance improving as more prior examinations are available.
