Evaluate the performance of multimodal large language models in radiology Visual Question Answering tasks.
Systematic quantitative evaluation of five multimodal large language models
Zero-shot protocol using the VQA-RAD dataset
Standardized prompts with precision-recall-F1 evaluation
Gemini 3 Flash achieves balanced performance with F1=0.78, Accuracy=0.78, Recall=0.83
Qwen3-VL-8B reaches the highest precision of 0.78 with competitive recall
General-purpose MLLMs show potential but struggle with abnormality detection and complex reasoning.
