Abstract:Medical foundation models (MedFMs) have emerged as transformative tools in healthcare, demonstrating capabilities across diverse clinical applications. These models can be broadly categorized into two paradigms: Medical Vision-Language Models (Med-VLMs) and segmentation foundation models. Med-VLMs range from medical-specialized models such as LLaVA-Med and MedGemma, to general-purpose models like GPT-4o and Gemini, all capable of medical image understanding tasks including visual question answering (VQA), report generation, and visual grounding. Concurrently, the Segment Anything Model (SAM) has catalyzed a new generation of medical segmentation models, with adaptations like SAM-Med2D and MedSAM. The widespread clinical deployment of these models thus necessitates rigorous evaluation of their reliability under real-world conditions.
