However, their performance in structured clinical interpretation settings remains insufficiently explored. In lung cancer screening, interpretative variability persists despite standardized frameworks such as Lung-RADS. In this study, we evaluate MedGemma, a medical general-purpose foundation model derived from Gemini and its fine-tuned version adapted for lung cancer detection and diagnosis, compared against radiologists performing Lung-RADS v2022 assessment on the NLST dataset. Twelve radiologists independently evaluated each case in a multi-reader design, enabling quantification of inter-reader variability. Radiologists achieved a mean AUC of 0.90, with substantial variability across readers (range: 0.80-0.94). The native foundation model achieved an AUC of 0.70, failing to reach clinically relevant performance. In contrast, fine-tuning significantly improved performance to an AUC of 0.83, placing the model within the lower range of individual radiologists performance. These findings highlight a trade-off between peak accuracy and prediction consistency. Unlike radiologists, under fixed conditions, the model produces deterministic outputs, removing inter-run variability under identical inputs, in contrast to inter-reader variability observed among radiologists. This supports the role of fine-tuned foundation models potential complementary tools for clinical decision support, particularly in settings with limited expertise. However, evaluation is performed on a case-enriched cohort from NLST and does not account for real-world prevalence or external validation, limiting direct clinical generalization.
