# TemMed-Bench: Evaluating Temporal Medical Image Reasoning in Vision-Language Models

[**๐ŸŒ Homepage**](https://temmedbench.github.io/) | [**๐Ÿฑ Github**](https://github.com/Levi-ZJY/TemMed-Bench) | [**๐Ÿ“– Paper**](https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.25143)




## Intro

<img src="./misc/Teaser_Figure.png" width="750" />

TemMed-Bench features three primary highlights. 
- **Temporal reasoning focus:** Each sample in TemMed-Bench includes historical condition information, which challenges models to analyze changes in patient conditions over time.
- **Multi-image input:** Each sample in TemMed-Bench contains multiple images from different visits as input, emphasizing the need for models to process and reason over multiple images.
- **Diverse task suite:** TemMed-Bench comprises three tasks, including VQA, report generation, and image-pair selection. Additionally, TemMed-Bench includes a knowledge corpus with more than 17,000 instances to support retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).




## Benchmark Overview
