Ultrasound-CLIP: Semantic-Aware Contrastive Pre-training for Ultrasound Image-Text Understanding

Ultrasound imaging is widely used in clinical diagnostics due to its real-time capability and radiation-free nature. However, existing vision-language pre-training models, such as CLIP, are primarily designed for other modalities, and are difficult to directly apply to ultrasound data, which exhibit
