Geometry-Supervised Visual Representation Learning for Multi-Phenotype Lesion Interpretation in Medical VLMs
Medical vision-language models (VLMs) have shown increasing potential for clinical image interpretation. However, these models still struggle to interpret multi-phenotype lesions whose diagnosis requires the joint assessment of multiple pathological phenotypes. Existing vision-language alignment methods produce visual representations that fail to preserve anatomical hierarchies and relationships among phenotypic subclasses....
