arXiv:2606. 12169v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: High-stakes clinical use of large vision-language models (LVLMs) requires reasoning that is grounded in visual evidence and clinical knowledge, not just correct final answers.
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.

SynerMedGen is a unified framework that aligns medical multimodal understanding with generation tasks through task alignment. It introduces three generation‑aligned understanding tasks and a two‑stage training strategy that transfers representations learned during understanding to medical image synthesis. The model achieves strong zero‑shot performance on 22 synthesis tasks and outperforms state‑of‑the‑art specialized and unified models when combined with generation training, supported by a new 1M‑sample SynerMed dataset.
