An end-to-end-trained vision-language model generates prostate biopsy reports in native languages, demonstrated in German. The system uses a tokenizer and model trained from scratch and an automated pipeline that splits composite reports into image-text pairs, producing 17,344 pairs from 2,402 cases without manual annotation. Evaluated on clinical attributes, it achieves 96.2% F1 for malignancy detection and 65.2% for Gleason grading, comparable to an FDA-cleared classifier and validated on external cohorts.

AlphaRAD introduces a grounded zero‑shot classification framework for chest radiology that leverages structured medical concepts extracted from reports and a novel α‑Corrected Binary Cross‑Entropy loss to reduce in‑batch noise. It also presents FLaS, a lightweight cross‑modal fusion module that factorizes VLPM representations into independent subspaces, improving spatial grounding without adding parameters. The method achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on 16 classification benchmarks and sets new records on several grounding, phrase‑grounding, and segmentation datasets.
