The paper introduces MSM‑Seg, a dual‑memory segmentation framework for 3D multi‑modal brain tumor segmentation. It combines a modality‑and‑slice memory attention module to capture cross‑modal and spatial‑slice dependencies, a multi‑scale category‑agnostic prompt encoder for whole‑tumor guidance, and a modality‑adaptive fusion decoder to integrate complementary decoding information. Experiments on various MRI datasets show that MSM‑Seg surpasses state‑of‑the‑art methods for metastases and glioma tumor segmentation.

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.

The article reviews how multimodal large language models (MLLMs) are expanding radiology AI beyond image‑specific tasks to multimodal reasoning, yet volumetric radiology poses a representational challenge because clinical interpretation needs full 3‑D spatial context and quantitative data. It surveys over 200 studies, categorizing advances in volumetric representation, multimodal understanding, and agentic orchestration, and introduces a Claim‑Design‑Validation framework to align technical, workflow, and clinical claims. The review emphasizes that native volumetric modeling and agentic capabilities must match spatial, quantitative, contextual, and workflow demands, and that clinical credibility hinges on faithful 3‑D representation, traceable behavior, proper validation, and defined human oversight.

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. In this paper, we introduce ClinFusion, a vision-centric MLLM designed for holistic medical understanding that systematically addresses these limitations.
