Researchers have developed ModaLens, a new method to measure the sensitivity of vision-language models (VLMs) in medical imaging. This audit technique involves swapping images to see how often a VLM's answer changes when the radiology report is available versus when it is not. In tests with the MedGemma-27B model on MIMIC-CXR data, the availability of the report significantly reduced the model's sensitivity to image swaps, indicating that the report itself often provides the necessary information for answering clinical questions.
