Researchers have introduced MedVIGIL, a new benchmark designed to evaluate the trustworthiness of medical vision-language models (VLMs). The benchmark focuses on a model's ability to recognize when visual evidence is insufficient or misleading, a critical aspect for clinical applications. MedVIGIL includes 300 cases with expert-authored questions, answers, and risk assessments, and was used to test 16 VLMs and 2 text-only models. The strongest audited model, Claude Opus 4.7, scored 69.2 on the MedVIGIL Composite Score, significantly below the independent radiologist's score of 83.3. AI
