Learning to Read Where to Look: Disease-Aware Vision-Language Pretraining for 3D CT

Simon Ging, Philipp Arnold, Sebastian Walter +6

Recent 3D CT vision-language models align volumes with reports via contrastive pretraining, but typically rely on limited public data and provide only coarse global supervision. We…
