arXiv:2606.12169v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: High-stakes clinical use of large vision-language models (LVLMs) requires reasoning that is grounded in visual evidence and clinical knowledge, not just correct final answers. We introduce OpenMedReason, a large-scale, open multimodal medical reasoning corpus comprising approximately 450K image-question-answer instances whose reasoning traces are primarily derived from curated biomedical, human-authored scientific articles. OpenMedReason provides high-fidelity supervision beyond synthetic chains of thought, covering diverse medical domain visio
The increasing sophistication and application of Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) necessitates more robust, medically-grounded reasoning capabilities for high-stakes clinical use cases.
This work directly addresses the critical need for reliable, auditable AI in healthcare by providing a rich dataset for training models to reason like human clinicians, moving beyond 'correct' answers to verifiable reasoning.
The availability of OpenMedReason enables the development of medical AI that can provide explainable and evidence-backed diagnoses and treatment recommendations, increasing trust and potential adoption in clinical settings.
