arXiv:2608.00231v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Volumetric CT vision-language pretraining learns 3D representations from scan-report pairs, but global and anatomy-aware objectives supervise only correspondence: they establish what is present and leave how much unconstrained. Nothing separates a mild from an extensive case of the same finding along a consistent direction, so the graded burden language in reports collapses into a present/absent signal. Longitudinal supervision would supply this order, but patient-matched CT pairs are scarce at scale; cross-sectional cohorts already encode weak burden cues across different patients. We introduce Spectrum, an anatomy-conditioned framework that represents each study at whole-study and organ scopes.
