Overview

• Medical VLMs struggle with abnormality grounding in medical images
• New method enhances performance by using knowledge descriptions
• Creates KnowGround framework with abnormality descriptions and anatomical context
• Achieves state-of-the-art results on medical abnormality grounding
• Works with multiple VLM architectures (LLaVA, MiniGPT-4, InstructBLIP)
• Requires no model retraining - can enhance existing systems

Plain English Explanation

Medical images like X-rays and CT scans contain abnormalities that doctors need to identify. When we try to use AI to help with this task, we face a challenging problem - getting the AI to not just recognize something is wrong, but to specifically point to where the abnormality...
