摘要
Prototype-based medical image classifiers present three clinical limitations: they treat findings as independent, silently amplify unsafe physician feedback, and require full retraining whenever a new finding is needed. We present GRAPE (Graph-Augmented Prototype Explanations), a unified architecture that targets all three challenges. First, a Graph Attention Task Head boosts macro-F1 by +13.8,pp over the prototype baseline on TBX11K but not on NIH ChestX-ray14, with no graph-specific benefit established. Second, a Concept-Mismatch Safety Check, to our knowledge the first such mechanism in prototype-based medical classifiers, warns when the model's dominant finding inside a doctor-drawn region conflicts with the claimed label, catching 85% of simulated erroneous annotations with no extra inference cost at a favorable operating point, though sensitivity falls substantially at clinically realistic false-positive budgets. Third, Open-Vocabulary Prototype Anchoring aligns visual prototypes to clinical text, allowing a new finding to be added from a single labeled image without modifying any other component, evaluated for localization only. On NIH ChestX-ray14, one Effusion example matched that concept's low fully-supervised Pointing Game ceiling in one run but not in a second. On TBX11K, prototype maps achieve 2.1x better lesion localization than end-to-end concept-based baselines. The graph head adds only +1~ms latency at interactive batch size.
