Disease-Centric Vision-Language Pretraining with Hybrid Visual Encoding for 3D Computed Tomography

ICML 2026poster

Vision–language pre-training (VLP) holds great promise for general-purpose medical AI by leveraging radiology reports as rich textual supervision, yet existing methods struggle with 3D CT imaging due to inefficient visual backbones and coarse semantic alignment. To address these issues, we propose a…

TumorChain: Interleaved Multimodal Chain-of-Thought Reasoning for Traceable Clinical Tumor Analysis

ICLR 2026poster

Accurate tumor analysis is central to clinical radiology and precision oncology, where early detection, reliable lesion characterization, and pathology-level risk assessment directly guide diagnosis, staging, and treatment planning. Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning is particularly critical in this s…

Boosting Vision Semantic Density with Anatomy Normality Modeling for Medical Vision-language Pre-training

ICCV 2025poster

Vision-language pre-training (VLP) has great potential for developing multifunctional and general medical diagnostic capabilities. However, aligning medical images with a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) to reports with a high SNR presents a semantic density gap, leading to visual alignment bias. In…

Large-scale and Fine-grained Vision-language Pre-training for Enhanced CT Image Understanding

ICLR 2025spotlight

Artificial intelligence (AI) shows great potential in assisting radiologists to improve the efficiency and accuracy of medical image interpretation and diagnosis. However, a versatile AI model requires large-scale data and comprehensive annotations, which are often impractical in medical settings. R…

Bootstrapping Chest CT Image Understanding by Distilling Knowledge from X-ray Expert Models

CVPR 2024poster

Radiologists highly desire fully automated versatile AI for medical imaging interpretation. However the lack of extensively annotated large-scale multi-disease datasets has hindered the achievement of this goal. In this paper we explore the feasibility of leveraging language as a naturally high-qual…
