LanGuSTE is a patch‑selection framework for whole slide image analysis that uses vision‑language models and large language model knowledge. It introduces Cross‑Scale Visual Prompt Tuning to align low‑resolution and high‑resolution patches, and a coarse‑to‑fine selection module that encodes only informative high‑resolution patches. Experiments show LanGuSTE cuts overall processing time to about one‑third of the baseline while matching or surpassing diagnostic performance of exhaustive and state‑of‑the‑art methods.

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.

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.

SlideBank is a training‑free framework that turns each whole‑slide image into a persistent, concept‑indexed evidence bank. It performs coarse‑to‑fine exploration to locate informative regions and multi‑scale views, converts them into explicit morphological observations, and anchors pathology signals to the supporting patches and slide coordinates. During inference, questions are routed to relevant signals and evidence scales, and a confidence‑based cross‑level consensus integrates global, regional, and patch evidence, achieving high accuracy on WSI‑VQA and SlideBench‑BCNB while enabling consistent re‑phrasing and reduced inference cost.
