The paper introduces a 3D-CLIP encoder trained with structured hard negatives to improve vision‑language alignment for text‑to‑CT generation. This encoder drives a latent diffusion model that operates directly in 3D latent space, eliminating spatial artifacts from super‑resolution pipelines. Experiments on the CT‑RATE dataset show state‑of‑the‑art image fidelity and factual correctness across 18 pathological conditions, with lower inference time and GPU memory usage than competing methods.
arXiv:2506. 00633v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Generating semantically controllable 3D CT volumes from radiology reports requires more than a rich text encoder, it requires vision-language alignment grounded in volumetric space.
arXiv:2608. 08713v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models offer a promising path toward automating radiology report generation, but applying them to full 3D CT volumes poses substantial computational challenges.
arXiv:2510. 15042v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In the 3D medical image domain, vision-language pre-training is used to create vision-language encoders (VLEs) that can support radiologists by retrieving patients with similar abnormalities, predicting likelihoods of abnormality, or, with downstream adaptation, generating radiological reports.

arXiv:2608. 08135v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cross-modality medical image translation can reduce the burden of multi-modal acquisitions, yet the field remains constrained by two coupled limitations: methods operate on 2D slices or 3D patches rather than whole volumes, and train a separate model for each translation task.
arXiv:2607. 02998v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Controllable generative models of 3D medical images can synthesize volumes with specified clinical attributes, but this demands samples that are simultaneously high-fidelity, natively 3D, and faithful to the requested conditioning.

The article reviews how multimodal large language models (MLLMs) are expanding radiology AI beyond image‑specific tasks to multimodal reasoning, yet volumetric radiology poses a representational challenge because clinical interpretation needs full 3‑D spatial context and quantitative data. It surveys over 200 studies, categorizing advances in volumetric representation, multimodal understanding, and agentic orchestration, and introduces a Claim‑Design‑Validation framework to align technical, workflow, and clinical claims. The review emphasizes that native volumetric modeling and agentic capabilities must match spatial, quantitative, contextual, and workflow demands, and that clinical credibility hinges on faithful 3‑D representation, traceable behavior, proper validation, and defined human oversight.
arXiv:2505. 17338v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Photorealistic volumetric rendering of CT scans greatly benefits clinical workflows, yet neural approaches such as Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) and 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) require prohibitive per-scan optimization (hours for NeRF, about 30 minutes for 3DGS), making them impractical in clinical settings.
