About this paper
Haoneng Lin, Cheng Xu, Jing Qin
This collaborative review by researchers from the Center for Smart Health, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, systematically categorizes and analyzes five key adaptation strategies for Vision-Language Models (VLMs) in medical image analysis. It explores how these strategies are applied across eleven medical imaging tasks, providing a structured understanding of current methodologies, identified challenges, and future research directions in the field.
Key insights
- VLMs offer a robust solution for integrating multi-modal visual and textual data, addressing the limitations of image-only methods in capturing holistic clinical context.
- Effective adaptation of general-purpose VLMs to the medical domain necessitates carefully tailored strategies to bridge the domain gap and address specific medical challenges.
- The field shows a growing trend towards hybrid adaptation strategies, combining multiple approaches to achieve more sophisticated and robust solutions for complex medical tasks.
