DECIS: Dual-Evidence Corrective Verification for Interpretable Strabismus Diagnostic Decision-Making
Abstract
Strabismus is a common ocular disorder that requires fine-grained subtype diagnosis for individualized treatment planning. However, existing deep learning methods mainly provide diagnostic predictions without transparent reasoning, while recent large vision-language models (LVLMs), although promising for joint image understanding and report generation, remain highly prone to hallucination in this evidence-sensitive and rule-driven medical task. To address these challenges, we propose DECIS, a Dual-Evidence Corrective verification for Interpretable Strabismus diagnostic decision-making framework. DECIS transforms black-box end-to-end generation into a structured diagnostic process consisting of candidate hypothesis generation, dual-evidence constrained context, evidence-based corrective verification, and report generation. Specifically, we introduce a Dual-Evidence Constrained Context (DECC) mechanism that jointly organizes visual evidence from the photograph of the nine cardinal positions of gaze and evidence-based clinical diagnostic rules into a constrained context for reliable diagnostic reasoning. We further develop an Evidence-Based Corrective Verification (EBCV) mechanism that verifies whether the current diagnostic hypothesis is supported by visual evidence, heatmap-based visual cues, and evidence-based clinical diagnostic rules. Hypothesis refinement is triggered when inconsistency is detected. Experiments on a fine-grained strabismus benchmark demonstrate that DECIS not only outperforms other state-of-the-art diagnostic systems, improving the weighted F1 score from 72.0% to 91.3%, but also improves the clinical reliability (consistency, alignment, and completeness) of generated diagnostic reports. These results demonstrate that DECIS provides an effective solution for building accurate, evidence-based, and clinically interpretable strabismus diagnosis systems.
