摘要:

在临床环境中部署视觉-语言模型(VLMs)需要在现实故障条件下具有可审计行为,但前沿VLMs在专门医疗输入上的故障景观尚不明确。我们审计了五种近期前沿且具有定位意识的VLMs(Gemini~2.5~Pro、GPT-5、o3、GLM-4.5V、Qwen~2.5~VL)在医学VQA上的表现,从两个与信任相关轴线进行评估。感知:所有模型对解剖学和病理学目标的定位均不佳——最佳模型仅达到0.23均值IoU和19.1% Acc@0.5,并表现出临床危险的方位混淆。流程整合:一种自我定位流程,其中同一模型先定位后回答,会降低VQA准确性,驱动因素是不准确的定位和在两步提示下的格式合规性失败(在VQA-RAD上解析失败上升至70%至99% for Gemini和GPT-5)。用地面真实注释替换预测框可恢复并提高VQA准确性,与故障位于感知模块而非分解本身一致。这些观察性发现将定位质量确定为我们在SLAKE边界框设置中的主要信任瓶颈。作为补充微调后续,对Qwen~2.5~VL进行监督微调,使用结合的Med-VQA训练数据,达到最高报告的SLAKE开放式回忆(85.5%) among comparable methods,表明VQA层面的差距可通过领域适应解决;是否这也关闭了感知/信任瓶颈还需未来工作。

英文摘要:

Vision-language models (VLMs) are increasingly applied to medical visual question answering (Med-VQA), yet whether they can \emph{localize} the evidence behind their answers---a prerequisite for clinical auditability---is poorly characterized. We separately evaluate VQA reasoning and visual grounding for four recent frontier VLMs (GPT-5.1, GPT-5.5, Gemini-2.5-Pro, Gemini-3-Flash), two domain-specific medical VLMs (Lingshu, MedGemma), and a dedicated open-vocabulary detector (Grounding DINO) on VQA-RAD and SLAKE. Two findings challenge the intuition that ``add grounding to improve VQA.'' First, \textbf{no model localizes medical targets well}: every off-the-shelf system---frontier, medical-specialized, or dedicated detector---scores mean IoU 0.05--0.24 on our SLAKE grounding split, at or barely above a trivial center-box baseline (0.10), with Acc@0.5 below 20\%. Second, and counter to the common ``localize-then-answer'' paradigm, \textbf{cropping to a bounding box degrades VQA even when the box is a perfect oracle}: on the matched subset where oracle ground-truth boxes are applied, GT-grounding \emph{lowers} closed-ended accuracy for every model (by 0.9--18.0 points versus using the full image)---consistent with the crop discarding global context the model relies on. Because the oracle box removes localization error by construction, the problem is not that perception is a recoverable bottleneck, but that grounding-by-cropping is itself the wrong interface. Finally, we show constructively that the two channels need not conflict: supervised fine-tuning of Qwen-2.5-VL-7B on answers \emph{alone} silently destroys box-evidence emission (0/418 parseable boxes), whereas mixing in a small amount of grounding supervision restores localization to 0.36 IoU---above every zero-shot model---while preserving answer accuracy.
