  "title": "ClinFusion: A Vision-Centric Multimodal LLM System for Holistic Medical Understanding",
  "why_included": "ClinFusion combines native 2D and 3D medical-image understanding with region-grounded evaluation, offering a concrete architecture and eval design for clinical multimodal systems.",
  "summary": "**ClinFusion** uses a compositional cascaded encoder to fuse heterogeneous 2D and native 3D medical images. Its evaluation stack adds MedIF-Bench for instruction following and a region-of-interest-grounded metric for factual report generation.",
  "practical_implication": "Builders of specialist multimodal systems should study the pairing of model architecture with domain-grounded evaluation. The authors report wins over open medical MLLMs on **20 of 24 benchmarks** and over named proprietary models on **13 of 16 benchmarks**.",
