EasyLens: A Training-Free Plug-and-Play Subtle-Lesion Representation Amplifier for Medical Vision-Language Models
arXiv:2606.06379v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Medical vision-language models (VLMs) have shown increasing potential for clinical image interpretation, including lesion detection and report generation. However, their practical utility remains limited by insufficient sensitivity to subtle lesions, whose visual evidence is often sparse, low-contrast, and embedded within complex anatomical context. As local visual tokens are aggregated, these weak lesion cues can become underrepresented in global image representations, making them difficult for medical VLMs to recognize. Existing efforts to im
The proliferation of medical imaging data and advancements in AI necessitate solutions for more accurate subtle lesion detection, which current models struggle with.
Improved diagnostic accuracy for subtle lesions can lead to earlier detection of diseases, better patient outcomes, and reduced healthcare costs.
Medical Vision-Language Models can now be augmented with a training-free plugin, enhancing their sensitivity to hard-to-detect anomalies without extensive re-training or data acquisition.

Medical VLMs will become more reliable for clinical decision support, particularly for early disease detection.
The increased accuracy might accelerate the adoption of AI in primary diagnostic workflows, shifting the burden from human radiologists for initial screenings.
Improved early detection could lead to the development of new, more effective early-stage treatments, altering pharmaceutical pipelines and public health strategies.
