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.

The paper introduces the Medical Data Standardization Benchmark (MDS‑Bench), which evaluates vision‑language models (VLMs) on their ability to process raw, heterogeneous medical data. Models must identify source formats, convert raw images into VLM‑compatible inputs, extract relevant text, and organize the results into structured image‑text pairs. Experiments show that even the top VLM, Gemini 3 Flash, achieves only a 48.6% end‑to‑end success rate, underscoring the challenge of raw data standardization in clinical settings.
