CheXpercept: A Benchmark for Evaluating Expert-Level Lesion Perception in Chest X-rays (opens in new tab)

The evaluation of vision-language models (VLMs) for chest X-ray (CXR) analysis has largely been limited to disease-presence classification without visual grounding. Such evaluations fail to verify the expert-level lesion perception necessary to ensure the clinical reliability of VLMs. To address these limitations, we introduce CheXpercept, a sequential, multi-level perception benchmark that mirrors a radiologist's cognitive workflow across coa...
