Case2Flow: Bridging Patient Cases and Guideline Flowcharts through Multimodal Retrieval

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

Case2Flow is a new task that retrieves the most relevant guideline flowchart for a given patient case from a collection of medical guideline documents. The authors created FlowAtlas, a curated corpus of 202 flowcharts extracted from 2,080 guidelines, and a pipeline that generates 1,911 aligned case‑flowchart pairs. Their evaluation shows that existing multimodal retrieval methods often overrely on keywords and spurious token‑patch matches, and they propose CRISP, a training‑free scoring method that improves Recall@1 by up to 18.71 percentage points and gains preliminary feasibility evidence from a blinded physician assessment.

MKG-CARE: Case-Aware Reasoning with Multimodal Knowledge Graphs for Explainable Medical Image Diagnosis

arXiv:2605. 22547v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Medical image diagnosis has achieved significant progress with deep learning, yet existing methods often rely on isolated visual evidence and lack the ability to effectively leverage similar cases and external knowledge.

A Multimodal Agentic Pathology Co-pilot via Evidence Grounded Reasoning

PathPocket is a multimodal AI co‑pilot that grounds pathology decision‑making in evidence. It builds the largest pathology evidence corpus (≈110,472 documents) and a hypergraph of 4.55 million entities and 7.10 million relations to support traceable reasoning. The system handles text and multimodal queries, including ROI and gigapixel whole‑slide images, and outperforms current state‑of‑the‑art models on a benchmark of over 200,000 real‑world cases, improving pathologists’ diagnostic accuracy and confidence.

MKG-RAG-Bench: Benchmarking Retrieval in Multimodal Knowledge Graph-Augmented Generation

arXiv:2606. 26458v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) over knowledge graphs has emerged as a promising approach for grounding large language models, yet existing benchmarks largely overlook the challenges of retrieval in multimodal knowledge graph RAG (MKG-RAG).

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.
