Volumetric Radiology AI in the Era of Multimodal Large Language Models

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.

Mr3D-VL: A generalist vision language foundation model for Multiparametric 3D Magnetic Resonance Imaging

arXiv:2608. 12689v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) is a cornerstone for brain tumor diagnosis and treatment, yet current AI models face critical limitations: their lack of natural language interaction and interpretability impedes spatial information integration and cross-modal reasoning required clinically.

Multitask Conditional Generative Adversarial Network Enables Automatic Whole Knee Cartilage and Menisci Segmentation and Reliable $T_{1\rho}$ and $T_2$ Quantification Without High-Resolution Morphological Images

The study introduces a multitask conditional generative adversarial network (MT‑cGAN) that simultaneously synthesizes high‑resolution DESS‑like images and segments knee cartilage and menisci directly from quantitative MRI echo images. Evaluated on 508 knee MRIs from 361 subjects, MT‑cGAN achieved a mean Dice score of 0.84 for segmentation and the lowest coefficient of variation for T1ρ (1.84%) and T2 (1.81%) quantification, outperforming existing conditional GAN approaches. By eliminating the need for separate high‑resolution morphological scans, the method shortens scan times and supports clinical adoption of quantitative MRI.
