arXiv:2608. 09774v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Thoracic pathologies rarely occur in isolation, yet standard multi-label classifiers rely on shared global descriptors, discarding \emph{where} findings lie and \emph{how} they co-occur.

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.
arXiv:2606. 17710v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Medical vision-language models report strong chest radiograph accuracy, and this is increasingly read as evidence that they use the image.

arXiv:2608. 05341v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) for radiology report generation are typically trained on retrospective clinical reports, which suffer from omission noise: clinically present findings are left unreported due to the omission of subtle findings.

arXiv:2608. 16268v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Medical foundation models improve generalization when training AI models with limited labeled data, but remain confined to a single specialty, such as pathology or radiology, and to either sparse or dense outputs, such as classification or segmentation.
