    How Ground Truth Shapes Retrieval Scores: Evidence-Aware Evaluation of a Retrieval-Augmented Generation System for Breast Lesions

    Miguel Mochizuki Silva, Samuel Ismael, Mateus C. Dias, Thaís Gaudêncio, Yuri Malheiros +1

    Purpose: To describe an evidence-aware retrieval evaluation protocol for a clinical retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) system over breast lesion management literature, addressing the dependence of retrieval scores on annotation coverage. Methods: An 18-document corpus and an 18-query development benchmark, with one Yes/No or WH-question per document, were used. Retrieval combined dense embeddings, BM25, and cross-encoder reranking. Chunk sizes of 128 to 1024 tokens, overlaps of 0 to 20%, and four retriever configurations were evaluated. Relevance was defined by evidence spans mapped to all containing chunks, treating overlapping chunks with equivalent evidence as relevant. Retrieval was evaluated using R-Precision, Recall@K, MRR, and nDCG@K. Separately, generation was assessed on a 512-token index at K=1 to 5 using DeepEval claim-level metrics, with deepseek-v4-pro as the LLM judge, and BLEU/ROUGE metrics. Results: The selected hybrid retriever, using 384-token chunks and 20% overlap, retrieved accepted evidence in the top three results for 17 of 18 queries. Recall@3, R-Precision, MRR@3, and nDCG@3 each reached 0.94. Ground-truth curation increased evidence spans from 25 to 37…

    Would an LLM Match into a Residency? Uncertainty, Reasoning and Image Use of Open Language Models on the Spanish MIR Examination

    Miguel Fernandez-de-Retana, Unai Zulaika, Ruben Sanchez-Corcuera, Aritz Bilbao-Jayo, Aitor Almeida

    Accuracy on medical examinations is common evidence offered for the clinical use of language models, yet a health system that intends to run an open model on its own hardware needs to know considerably more: whether the model recognizes when it is likely to be wrong, whether medical fine-tuning improves this ability, whether its correct answers rest on sound clinical reasoning, or whether it actually uses the images it is given. We examine these questions for four open models of 8 to 27 billion parameters on the Spanish MIR residency examination, scoring 1,552 questions from eight editions under the exam's own rules. Answering every question, the three larger models would rank among roughly the first 600 to 3,000 candidates, with 41 to 43 specialties still open to them. Abstention, however, never pays, because even their least confident answers are right more often than the 25% break-even. Medical fine-tuning reduced overconfidence at the cost of accuracy, without improving how well confidence separates right from wrong answers. Moreover, 13-38% of correct answers rejected a distractor for a clinically unsound reason that confidence did not reflect, and removing or swapping the…

    Diffusion-Based Synthesis of Complete 3D Biparametric Prostate MRI

    Claudia Giardina, Montse Pardàs, Verónica Vilaplana

    Synthetic biparametric MRI (bpMRI) may help alleviate the limited availability of large and representative prostate MRI datasets for deep learning applications. In this work, we present a conditional 3D diffusion framework for anatomy-conditioned synthesis of complete prostate bpMRI from anatomical masks. The framework supports sequential synthesis, in which T2w and diffusion modalities are generated by separately trained models, and joint synthesis, in which all bpMRI modalities are generated simultaneously within a single model. Five configurations were trained using PI-CAI, FastMRI Prostate, and PROSTATEx datasets to investigate different conditioning schemes, target modalities, and synthesis strategies. Evaluation using distribution-based metrics, paired-image similarity, and qualitative assessment demonstrated the feasibility of both synthesis pathways. Joint synthesis achieved competitive distributional fidelity while generating complete bpMRI, whereas direct synthesis of ADC and computed high-b-value DWI outperformed their derivation from synthetic diffusion-weighted images.

    From Prompt Rules to Golden Data Model: Production-Scale Generation of Personalized, Compliant Pharmaceutical Claims

    Suyash Mishra, Qiang Li, Subhabrata Adak, Upender Phogat, Srikanth Patil +1

    Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to generate domain-specific commercial & medical content (e.g., claims, statements, and promotional phrases) in regulated industries such as pharmaceuticals. However, ensuring its regulatory compliance, factual accuracy, and audience-specific personalization remains a major challenge. We report a production case study asking whether moving compliance and personalization signal from prompt-level rules into retrieval time structured context improves pharmaceutical claims generation, using Composer, a deployed internal tool built on a Golden Data Model (GDM) of 1,867 pharmaceutical claims spanning four products. The GDM integrates claim metadata, references, audience labels, material type, usage history, Match Text Variant (MTV) links, and a six dimension quality score (6C). Across six product-audience segments, the context pipeline improves intended indication (+29%), intended content type (+62%) and intended target audience (+67%), 6C quality score (+86%), and claim reuse (+34%). Production log analysis over the deployment period shows a 29.5% reduction in weekly API cost. We report this as descriptive deployment evidence. This…

    Evaluation of Uncertainty-Aware Multi-Software Ensembles for Hippocampal Segmentation

    Gabriel Oliveira-Stahl, Anna Schroder, James Moggridge, Hamza A. Salhab, Caroline Micallef +4

    Accurate hippocampal segmentation can be a useful tool for diagnosing and monitoring neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and epilepsy. While numerous automated segmentation methods exist, their clinical adoption remains limited. Reliable uncertainty assessment can enhance trust and facilitate clinical translation. This study evaluates ensembles of five heterogeneous hippocampal segmentation methods - InnerEye, ASHS, FastSurfer, HippoSeg, and FreeSurfer - across two dementia datasets and one epilepsy dataset. The sub-ensemble containing InnerEye, FastSurfer, and HippoSeg emerged as both accurate and efficient, highlighting the feasibility of balancing computational cost and performance. Additionally, ensemble-derived uncertainty quantification with sample variance, mutual information, and predictive entropy is shown to reduce inaccurate segmentations by flagging low-confidence cases, potentially providing a mechanism for automatically escalating ambiguous cases for expert assessment. Lastly, this study explores the downstream clinical utility of ensemble-derived uncertainty, finding a significant correlation with motion artefact severity and a modest contribution…

    From Structured Records to Patient Narratives: Preserving Clinical Alignment in LLM-Generated Health Summaries

    Bayram Ayadi, Florian Geissler, Johanna Schmidhuber

    As wearable and digital health systems increasingly generate longitudinal physiological records, communicating these observations in patient-accessible language remains a significant challenge. Large Language Models (LLMs) offer a promising mechanism for translating structured clinical information into readable narratives, but this process may introduce semantic drift, where clinically precise meaning is distorted during simplification. We investigate evidence-grounded health summarization for menstrual health monitoring using a constrained generation framework that combines structured evidence conditioning with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) using a prompt-based constrained generation framework. We evaluate semantic alignment using Natural Language Inference (NLI), atomic factuality metrics, and readability measures. Across three LLMs and 4,500 generated summaries, explicit grounding constraints consistently improve clinical alignment, particularly by improving uncertainty preservation and, once faithfulness is evaluated against retrieved evidence, generally preserving or improving faithfulness, while effects on omission remain model-dependent. We also find that improved…

    The Value of System 1 Models in Medicine

    Xiufeng Yang, Konstantinos Vrettos, Zeineb Ben Chaaben, Fabian Drexel, Jannik Lübberstedt +14

    Many clinical decisions are a choice among a few fixed options, taken quickly and in large numbers. Such decisions also need an uncertainty estimate to know when to defer to a clinician. Generative language models answer slowly in free text and state their confidence poorly. In contrast, System 1 models answer zero-shot with a probability for each answer. However, their performance across clinical tasks is unknown. Four System 1 models, two proprietary and two with open weights, were evaluated zero-shot on 86 public tasks from 14 clinical domains in 20 languages, spanning examination questions and medical imaging. Tasks were assigned to six capability tiers before analysis. The primary outcome was the area under the receiver-operating-characteristic curve (AUROC). Secondary outcomes included calibration, language effects and comparisons with published results and generative models. Across 179,111 cases, the mean AUROC of the best model per task was 0.94 for medical knowledge, 0.93 for text understanding, 0.83 for clinical judgement from text, 0.89 for image perception, 0.84 for 2D image findings and 0.69 for volumetric findings. Imaging tasks scored 0.09 (95% CI, 0.06 to 0.11)…

    IndoNutriQA: An Indonesian Clinical Nutrition Question Answering Benchmark

    Tirana Noor Fatyanosa, Ummu Ditya Erliana, Mahendra Data, Muhammad Nurwegiono, Eleazar Tadeo Eman +1

    Clinical Question Answering (QA) underpins Clinical Intelligent Decision Support Systems, but progress is severely limited for low-resource languages such as Indonesian by the absence of public domain-specific data. We introduce IndoNutriQA, an expert-curated Indonesian clinical QA benchmark of 911 question-answer pairs built from real clinical-nutrition reports. Rather than a large-scale training corpus, it is positioned as a high-quality evaluation resource: every pair is grounded in a clinically relevant context, enriched with structured metadata (anthropometric assessment, medical diagnosis, document provenance, chunk segmentation). Eight standardised question types following the Nutrition Care Process (NCP), including the Problem, Etiology, Sign and Symptom (PES) diagnosis statement, are answered for every report, which was written by a graduate-level dietetic intern, by one of three nutritionists. Answers are free-form clinical prose rather than extractive spans, and an expert validation study finds 6-10% of reference answers contestable. The dataset supports generative, extractive and retrieval-augmented QA as well as zero- and few-shot LLM evaluation. We report fine-tuned…

    Reinforcing intra-operative tumour localisation with weak supervision from pre-operative appearances

    Sidhart Sami, Ali Sharjeel, Sri Atluri, Miao Zhao, Caroline Roney +2

    Limited tumour visibility on intra-operative images complicates surgical navigation, including liver hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) targeting on computed tomography (CT) imaging. This makes labelled datasets difficult to curate for deep learning, and transferring pre-operative delineations through registration remains challenging due to intra-operative deformation and lack of paired pre- and intra-operative data. We propose to transfer tumour appearances learned from pre-operative magnetic resonance (MR) images to guide localisation on intra-operative CT through weak supervision. A classifier is trained to classify tumour presence on pre-operative images. This is applied to windows on intra-operative images, and despite the domain gap, it assigns higher tumour-presence probabilities on average to tumour-containing windows. These weak cross-domain signals guide a reinforcement learning agent to localise tumours on intra-operative images. We compare direct transfer, few-shot adaptation and synthetic transfer (trained using unpaired MR and CT), which translates CT into synthetic MR before localisation. On an external HCC cohort, synthetic transfer outperformed other tested methods…

    QICOM: Open-Source Software for Reproducible Image Quality Evaluation, Blinded Assessment, and Radiomic Comparison

    Fabio Mattiussi, Switinder Ghotra

    QICOM (Quality Image COMparator) is open-source software for quantitative image comparison, paired radiomics, and blinded assessment. It saves processing settings, image identities, measurements, and response mappings so a comparison can be reopened and recalculated. We evaluate reference agreement, responses to controlled perturbations, and recovery of saved analyses. Synthetic experiments cover 37 quantitative descriptors using independentnumerical references and separate upstream integration comparisons. The QICOM/MIRP backend meets the reference tolerances for all 482 numeric IBSI 1 digital-phantom entries and all 1,622 entries across configurations A-E of the public CT reference case; these comprise 1,804 feature/aggregation comparisons and 300 preprocessing diagnostics. Restricting masked SSIM and HFEN to complete kernel support removes the observed dependence on excluded pixels. In a synthetic filtering example, stronger smoothing increases SSIM while worsening MSE and HFEN relative to milder smoothing and changing GLCM contrast more strongly. Reopened radiomics projects reproduce all 43 feature pairs per comparison, and two blinded deliveries return four correctly mapped…

    Local Discrimination of Binary Classifiers via Localized AUC Functional

    Wenye Ren, Anna Győrffy-Kerekes, Tancredi Dorsi, Olga Demler

    Risk prediction models are frequently evaluated with AUC, which means that during evaluation we are blind to performance heterogeneity, which could lead to bad decision-making in clinics. In this work, we aim to change that by identifying patient cohorts for whom the risk prediction model might not be an accurate predictor. To separate these cohorts, we use a version of the weighted AUC, which we call Localized AUC or LAUC. Using this metric, we build a method that we coin LOCATOR. This method is able to identify cohorts of patients for whom the risk prediction model is inaccurate. We test this method both in real-world data and in simulations. We also build a statistical background for the use of Localized AUC for our purposes.

    A Visual Grounding Benchmark for Retinal OCT with Multimodal Large Language Models

    Ronald Fecso, José Morano, Botond Fazekas, Paul Widmann-Sedlnitzky, Dorota Himel +4

    Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) can answer clinical questions about medical images, but trustworthy use requires visual grounding: models should localize the pathology they report rather than rely on spurious shortcuts. Whether MLLMs can visually ground clinical findings in retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT), the most widely used imaging modality in ophthalmology, remains largely unexplored. To address this gap, we introduce RetinaGroundBench, the first benchmark for biomarker visual grounding in retinal OCT. It comprises 815 B-scans exhaustively annotated by ophthalmologists with 4,537 bounding boxes covering 13 biomarkers across 8 diseases. Because MLLMs often fragment a single lesion into multiple partial predictions, we propose AggIoU, a metric that evaluates whether the union of overlapping predicted boxes covers the annotated region. Across 27 open-source MLLMs (0.8-38B parameters), we find that visual grounding remains largely unsolved: the best general-purpose model achieves a macro F1 of just 23.7%, with consistently low recall, despite reaching up to 73% balanced accuracy on biomarker presence questions. To narrow this gap, we developed RetGrounder, an…

    Pos4CHD: A Positive-Free Mask-Guided Counterfactual Synthesis Framework for Fetal Congenital Heart Defect Analysis

    Wenjie Xuan, Yapeng Li, Hang Su, Chen Cheng, Juhua Liu +3

    The scarcity of positive cases remains a major bottleneck in developing automated diagnostic systems for fetal Congenital Heart Defects~(CHDs), particularly for rare subtypes. Although normal cases are accessible with effort, positive cases are hard to collect due to low incidence rates and privacy concerns, causing severe class imbalance or absence of positive training samples. Existing works resort to synthesizing positives with conditional generative models, but they are task-specific and require positive training samples, hindering application for fetal CHDs. To this end, we propose a positive-free mask-guided counterfactual generation framework for fetal echocardiography, namely Pos4CHD, which enables realistic, high-quality synthesis of pseudo-positive samples from semantic masks, with only normal samples at hand. Technically, we first develop FE-Gen, a mask-guided generative model tailored for fetal heart ultrasound synthesis that mitigates histogram drift and enhances image-mask spatial alignment. Building on FE-Gen, Pos4CHD employs a mask-to-image generation paradigm for CHD synthesis. It first manipulates semantic masks to simulate fetal-heart structural anomalies and…

    nnInteractive Agent: General-Purpose AI Agents as 3D Image Annotators

    Fabian Isensee, Constantin Ulrich Harsy, Maximilian Rokuss, Benjamin Hamm, Philipp Vollmuth +1

    Interactive 3D segmentation models such as nnInteractive turn a few spatial prompts (points, scribbles, boxes) into accurate volumetric masks, but a human still does the annotation work: finding each structure, placing prompts, checking the result and correcting it. General-purpose AI agents can now interpret images, call tools and write code. We show that such agents can take over this work without additional training: the user makes a request in plain language, and the agent works out what has to be segmented, locates the targets, prompts nnInteractive, inspects the 3D result, corrects it and responds to feedback. Asked for 'the muscles used for chewing', an agent identifies and segments the masseters and pterygoids; asked to count liver lesions, it writes its own code to find candidates and splits a merged lesion on request. Our open-source nninteractive-agent provides nnInteractive as tools over the Model Context Protocol (MCP), together with a skill that encodes how experienced users prompt it. On a benchmark spanning CT, MRI, PET and micro-CT of humans, a mouse and an ant (14 images; 51 targets from organs and tumours to muscles, foot bones, vessel trees and an insect…

    Dual Exam: Controlled Evaluation of Multimodal Agents and World Models

    Zhefan Rao, Meng Chu, Xuan Zhang, Jingfan Chen, Guohao Cai +78

    World Models (WMs) can support Multimodal Agents (MAs) through simulated experience, while Agent trajectories can inform World Model refinement. Evaluating this interaction requires separate evidence about action selection and state evolution. We introduce Dual Exam, which tests Agents under fixed environment response mechanisms and World Models under fixed action interventions across physical, digital, social, and scientific domains. The Agent track compares 10 configurations on 1,088 items in 15 reporting categories. The World Model track contains 400 cases across eight scenarios; 15 configurations have full coverage and one covers six scenarios. GPT 6 Astra leads the case-weighted Agent Index at 31.3, and GPT-Image-2 leads the full-coverage WM Overall at 21.7. These scores use different tasks and metrics and are not directly comparable. A 150-case pilot of one coupled pairing records zero task successes and motivates component-level diagnosis. Results reveal uneven task performance and failures to preserve task-relevant state. Their value for predicting coupled success or sustained reciprocal learning remains to be established.

    A General-Purpose Dual-Path Interaction Framework for Multi-View Medical Image Segmentation: Alleviating Data Volume Dependency in Small-Sample Regimes

    Shuhuan Wang, Yuanyuan Cui, Pengju Wang, Huimin Guo, Ling Yue +8

    The performance of medical image segmentation depends on a large amount of annotated data, and most segmentation models experience a significant drop in performance in low-sample-size scenarios. Existing semi-supervised and weakly supervised methods rely on specific network architectures, while traditional multi-view-assisted segmentation methods require strictly paired samples, which limits their clinical applications. To address these issues, we propose DPIF, a general-purpose plug-and-play dual-path interaction framework compatible with arbitrary encoder-decoder segmentation networks, which leverages cross-view anatomical complementarity to reduce annotation reliance. DPIF first performs Sinkhorn optimal transport-based cross-view distribution alignment to establish global semantic correspondence without sample-level pairing. It then adopts conditional mutual information-guided feature decoupling to enable bidirectional knowledge transfer only within the shared semantic space, suppressing view-specific noise. Finally, persistent homology-based topological regularization encodes anatomical invariants as unsupervised priors to mitigate overfitting. Experiments were conducted…

    Diagnostic Loss: Asymmetric Supervision for Radiology Report Generation

    Ignacy Kolton, Wenxuan Li, Zongwei Zhou, Jarosław B. Ćwikła, Arkadiusz Sitek +2

    Automated radiology report generation requires models to do more than produce fluent clinical narratives: they must explicitly state supported diagnoses while avoiding unsupported ones. However, existing medical vision-language models (MedVLMs) are typically trained with token-level maximum likelihood objectives, which prioritize text agreement over diagnostically critical terms. As a result, models can miss key diagnoses and introduce wrong ones. We identify this as an objective misalignment between conventional language modeling and the asymmetric diagnostic requirements of radiology reporting. To encode these requirements, we introduce Diagnostic Loss (DLoss), a differentiable, architecture-agnostic objective that operates directly on decoder token probabilities. DLoss separately aggregates probability mass over vocabularies associated with diagnoses supported by the reference report and with unsupported alternatives. Using asymmetric pooling across token positions in the report, it encourages supported diagnoses to receive sufficient probability in at least one position while suppressing spurious probability spikes for unsupported diagnoses across all positions during…

    RetiJev: Fast and Source-Grounded Ophthalmic Decision Models

    Bo Liu, Lianyu Wang, Meng Wang, Ching-Yu Cheng, Huazhu Fu

    Ophthalmic clinical decision support requires fast, accurate, and privacy-preserving inference, yet autoregressive large language models (LLMs) incur substantial latency and computational overhead for decisions among predefined actions. We therefore investigate a decision-oriented alternative to generative reasoning. Specifically, we first introduce RetiJev-Data, a source-grounded ophthalmology corpus comprising 78,158 clinical-decision and diagnosis questions derived from articles in PubMed Central and a MeSH vocabulary covering 531 eye diseases, and 50,074 guideline-grading questions spanning 11 grading systems, along with a 24,662-question evaluation benchmark. Based on this, we develop RetiJev, a family of 0.8B-9B decision models that directly score candidate answers without autoregressive decoding. Across all model sizes, RetiJev outperforms both a 27B LLM and the commercial Jev 1.13 decision model on guideline grading by 10.4-23.0 points. RetiJev-9B further achieves the highest accuracy on clinical decisions, improving over both baselines by 5.4-6.5 points while matching them on diagnosis. It answers a case in 158 ms on one GPU, 3.5x faster than LLM generation and 470x…

    Attention-guided classification and tumor localization of combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma

    Xiaowen Liang, Hélène Cazier, Aurélie Beaufrère, Miguel Albuquerque, Valérie Paradis +1

    Combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinomas (cHCC-CCA) are a type of cancer that share components of two other primary liver cancers: hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Accurate diagnosis of cHCC-CCA, of which the behavior may resemble that of either HCC or CCA, remains a challenge due to strong intratumoral heterogeneity. Since the prognoses differ between liver cancer types, it is necessary to improve their morphological characterization and recognition in order to accurately identify cHCC-CCA. In this work, we use whole slide images (WSIs) of the two main types of liver cancer (HCC and CCA) and cHCC-CCA, stained with Hematoxylin-Eosin-Safran (HES), to train a classification model that can distinguish between these subtypes and provides a potential solution for localizing different types of tumors in the combined liver cancer images.

    ICGF-CXRMate: Image-Conditioned Clinical Context Compression and Gated Fusion for Chest X-ray Report Generation

    Vu Minh Tran, Thuc Huynh, Son Thanh Luu, Doanh C. Bui

    Auxiliary patient data can improve chest X-ray report generation, but directly concatenating heterogeneous clinical information with visual tokens produces long, variable-length decoder prompts and may expose the model to redundant or image-irrelevant context. We propose ICGF-CXRMate, an image-conditioned clinical context compression and gated fusion framework. Learnable queries are first conditioned on the current chest X-ray representations and then attend to the patient-data sequence, compressing it into a fixed number of clinical context tokens. Gated cross-attention selectively integrates these tokens into the visual stream, while the compressed tokens are retained in the decoder prompt as a direct clinical pathway. Experiments on linked MIMIC-CXR and MIMIC-IV-ED examinations show that ICGF-CXRMate improves report quality while reducing the average prompt length. In Stage~2, it improves RadGraph-F1 from 24.00 to 28.86, CXR-BERT similarity from 56.86 to 62.80, and BLEU-4 from 5.14 to 7.96 compared with CXRMate-ED, while reducing the average prompt length from 373.89 to 288.37 tokens, corresponding to a 22.9\% reduction. After self-critical sequence training, ICGF-CXRMate…
