## Abstract

Superimposed text annotations have been under-investigated, yet are ubiquitous, useful and important, especially in medical images. Medical images also highlight the challenges posed by low resolution, noise and superimposed textual meta-information. Therefor we probed the impact of superimposing text onto medical images on VQA. Our results revealed that this textual meta-information can be added without severely degrading key measures of VQA performance. Our findings are significant because they validate the practice of superimposing text on images, even for medical images subjected to the VQA task using AI techniques. The work helps advance understanding of VQA in general and, in particular, in the domain of healthcare and medicine.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
