ARC-CT: Anatomy-Routed Contrastive Vision-Language Learning for 3D Chest CT
Contrastive vision-language learning uses paired chest CT volumes and radiology reports to learn abnormality classifiers without manually annotated labels. However, two characteristics of chest CT challenge conventional global contrastive learning. First, many critical abnormalities are small or anatomically localized, and pooling an en- tire volume into a single embedding may dilute their visual evidence. Second, the standard contrastive objective treats every other scan in a batch as a negative. Because many chest CTs share abnormalities, this objective incorrectly pushes co-positive pairs a
Primitive Representation Learning for Unsupervised Dynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI Reconstruction
Reliable quantitative analysis of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI requires high-quality spatiotemporal reconstructions at high undersampling rates. Scan-specific reconstructions using Gaussian and Gabor primitives have shown promising results without the need for large training datasets, but have not addressed the additional dimension of dynamic contrast. We propose a multi-dimensional, primitive based framework for dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI reconstruction that disentangles the underlying anatomy, the dynamic contrast enhancement, and residual motion into separate temporal basis functions, t
