Merged summary

TL;DR - This paper introduces a benchmark for evaluating vision-language models on longitudinal, multi-view MRI disease progression. Tests show persistent weaknesses in identifying change direction and quantifying volume, highlighting barriers to clinical deployment.

  • Includes 3,920 expert-verified question-answer pairs from 890 patients and over 3,200 MRI timepoints.
  • Covers seven cohorts spanning glioblastoma, neurodegeneration, vestibular schwannoma, and brain metastases.
  • Evaluation of 16 models found moderate temporal alignment but systematic progression-reasoning failures.
  • Multi-view input improved spatial localization but degraded temporal reasoning in compact models.
