Beyond the Embedding Bottleneck: Adaptive Retrieval-Augmented 3D CT Report Generation

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

The paper identifies a representational bottleneck in 3D CT embeddings that limits pathology coverage in automated radiology reports. It introduces AdaRAG-CT, an adaptive retrieval-augmented framework that supplements visual features with controlled textual retrieval to improve report generation. On the CT-RATE benchmark, AdaRAG-CT achieves state‑of‑the‑art clinical efficacy, raising Clinical F1 from 0.420 to 0.480.

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

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 tailored VLP framework featuring three key components: (1) a CNN-ViT hybrid encoder that replaces ViT's patch embedding with a 3D CNN backbone to efficiently capture local anatomical details while preserving global attention and compatibility with pre-trained cross-modal priors; (2) a disease-level contrastive learning mechanism using learnable query tokens to dynamically extract disease-specific semantics from full reports and align them with corresponding visual features, thereby disentangling distinct diseases within the same anatomical region; and (3) a diagnosis-aware prompt strategy that employs real clinical phrases and aggregated disease prototypes to bridge the pre-training-inference gap and enhance zero-shot diagnostic reliability.

Comprehensive language-image pre-training for 3D medical image understanding

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.
