细粒度视觉表征对医学图像分析至关重要,尤其当诊断证据微弱且空间局部化时。现代基于Transformer的医学视觉编码器必须学习具有临床意义且空间一致的局部块表示。否则大型视觉语言模型(LVLM)将建立在模糊的视觉基础之上,限制其生成临床可靠、空间明确回答的能力。然而,现有医疗视觉编码器训练策略很少同时满足这两个目标。图像-文本对齐主要提供图像级别的临床监督,对诊断证据的空间定位约束较弱;自监督学习虽促进空间一致性,却缺乏区分视觉相似但临床不同的区域所需的语义监督。为解决这一问题,我们提出LoFi,一种基于位置感知细粒度表征学习的医疗视觉基础模型。LoFi通过轻量级大语言模型,在定位与带定位的描述生成任务下训练视觉编码器。由于这些任务要求从临床文本预测位置或反之,空间一致性自然涌现,无需任何显式的块级正则化。为支持大规模训练,我们构建了MedG,一个包含448万组图像-文本-框三元组的大规模医学定位数据集,涵盖84个数据集和7种模态。在短语定位、视觉问答以及受扰动下的区域器官分类任务中,LoFi始终优于通用及医疗视觉基础模型,以及最先进LVLM。代码已开源:https://github.com/myeongkyunkang/lofi-medg。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Fine-grained visual representations are essential for medical image analysis, particularly when diagnostically relevant evidence is subtle and spatially localized. Modern transformer-based medical vision encoders must therefore learn patch-level representations that are both clinically meaningful and spatially consistent. Without these properties, large vision-language models (LVLMs) operate on an ambiguous visual foundation, limiting their ability to generate clinically reliable and spatially grounded responses. However, existing training strategies for medical vision encoders rarely achieve both objectives. Image-text alignment provides clinically meaningful supervision primarily at the image level, leaving the spatial localization of diagnostic evidence weakly constrained. In contrast, self-supervised learning promotes spatial consistency but lacks the semantic supervision needed to distinguish visually similar yet clinically distinct regions. To address this gap, we present LoFi, a medical vision foundation model built on location-aware fine-grained representation learning. LoFi trains a vision encoder with a lightweight large language model under grounding and grounded captioning objectives. Because these objectives require predicting location from clinical text and vice versa, spatial consistency emerges without any explicit patch-level regularization. To enable training at scale, we construct MedG, a large-scale medical grounding dataset of 4.48M image-text-box triplets curated from 84 datasets spanning 7 modalities. Across phrase grounding, visual question answering, and region-based organ classification under perturbations, LoFi consistently outperforms general-purpose and medical vision foundation models as well as state-of-the-art LVLMs. Code is available at https://github.com/myeongkyunkang/lofi-medg.
