    Generative AI models, particularly vision-language models, are emerging as potential solutions for chest radiograph report generation amid a radiologist shortage.

  • 2

    A systematic benchmarking study evaluated five medical image-specific VLMs against radiologist-written reports for chest radiograph report generation.

  • 3

    The study assessed VLM-generated reports using diagnostic performance, clinical acceptability, hallucination presence, and linguistic clarity.

  • 4

    Evaluation methods included RADPEER scoring and a four-point clinical acceptability scale to determine report quality and usability.

  • 5

    The findings highlight the need for standardized comparisons of VLMs to ensure readiness for clinical application in emergency settings.
