Vision-language models for chest radiography do not always need 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.

Auditing Medical Vision-Language Models on Chest Radiographs: Estimating Reference Agreement Across Institutions

arXiv:2608. 07550v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models return structured chest-radiograph findings through interfaces exposing no confidence score, so a receiving institution cannot read off how far to trust an individual judgment.

SHOVIR: A Benchmark for Evaluating Vision Shortcut Learning in Radiology Report Generation

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.

RadPRISM: Schema-stratified radiology-report supervision for concept-disentangled image representations and visual grounding

arXiv:2608. 00147v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language pretraining learns rich medical image representations from radiology reports, but previous model variants commonly operate within a single shared embedding space, so concept-level structure and interpretability must be recovered post hoc, limiting model transparency and, hence, clinical utility.
