  "summary": "Reliable medical image understanding requires models to connect clinical language and visual reasoning with pixel-level grounding. Yet medical vision-language models often lack precise localization, whereas medical segmenters typically rely on explicit target categories or precise spatial prompts. This divide is reinforced by a supervision mismatch: segmentation datasets provide precise masks but…",
