Why it matters
Addresses the lack of systematic evaluation for model merging in medical imaging, enabling comparison of merging methods and serving as a practical baseline.
Motivation
Large vision-language models (LVLMs) can be adapted to specialized medical imaging tasks via parameter-efficient fine-tuning approaches such as low-rank adaptation (LoRA), leading to a growing ecosystem of expert models tailored to specific imaging modalities and clinical scenarios.
