Researchers introduce ClinFusion, a multimodal LLM system designed for clinical medical understanding, featuring a cascaded vision encoder architecture (Cascade Spatial-Aware Locality Fusion) that handles both 2D and native 3D medical images within a unified encoder. The system is evaluated on a new benchmark suite including MedIF-Bench and a region-of-interest-grounded report generation metric, claiming state-of-the-art results on 20 of 24 benchmarks against open-source medical MLLMs and outperforming GPT-5.2 and Gemini-3-Flash on 13 of 16 multimodal benchmarks. Blinded evaluation by board-certified radiologists confirms ClinFusion produces the highest-ranked radiology reports, and the proposed RoI-grounded metric shows the strongest correlation with expert judgment among automatic metrics tested.
