As vision-language models (VLMs) are increasingly applied to medical AI, existing benchmarks mainly focus on evaluating their diagnosis ability over given medical images and texts, implicitly assuming that standardized medical images, texts or question-answer pairs are already prepared. However, this assumption does not hold when we apply VLMs in real clinical practice, where medical data is often raw, heterogeneous, and fragmented across different sources.

Current evaluation protocols for Vision-Language Models (VLMs) in Radiology Report Generation (RRG) rely on report-level metrics that measure lexical overlap or aggregate clinical correctness. However, such metrics do not test whether individual diagnostic statements stem from the actual pathological evidence visible in the image.
