ASAP: Advancing Medical Volumetric Representation Learning with Anatomy-aware Semantically-adaptive Pre-training 文章

arXiv:2606.00602v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Learning transferable and interpretable representations from medical volumetric scans remains challenging due to complex anatomical structures and weak, heterogeneous supervision provided by radiology reports. In this paper, we propose Anatomy-aware Semantically-Adaptive Pre-training (ASAP), a principled vision-language pre-training framework for fine-grained medical volumetric representation learning from large-scale chest CT scans and their corresponding radiology reports. ASAP integrates three key components: (1) an anatomy-aware knowledge injection module that incorporates organ-level structural priors via off-the-shelf segmentation tool to encourage anatomically coherent representations; (2) a semantically-adaptive selective alignment mechanism that dynamically associates sentence-level findings with localized volumetric regions;
