Anatomy Contextualized Adaption of CT Foundation Models
Quick summary
arXiv:2607.27154v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: CT vision-language foundation models have demonstrated promising performance across downstream tasks, but are typically trained with whole-volume representations that dilute fine-grained anatomical signals. Fine-grained vision-language pre-training addresses this by aligning anatomy-level visual features with anatomy-specific text, but in doing so discards the global context that whole-volume models provide. Furthermore, existing fine-grained approaches train from scratch, making them computationally expensive. We introduce Anatomy Contextualiz
