Vision Language Models Fail to Reliably Detect Acute Myeloid Leukemia in Bone Marrow Smears

2026-08-22

Abstract excerpt

Hematologic diagnostics and especially cytomorphologic assessment are time-intensive and require high levels of expertise. Vision Language Models (VLM) show promise in medical image analysis in radiology and histopathology, while an evaluation on detecting acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is lacking. Our goal was to evaluate three Vision Language Models regarding their diagnostic accuracy and safety in clinical decisi...
