Revisiting LLM Adaptation for 3D CT Report Generation: A Study of Scaling and Diagnostic Priors
arXiv:2606.17213v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in multimodal learning, including large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs), have demonstrated strong adaptability to natural images. However, extending their use to the medical domain, particularly for volumetric (3D) images, is challenging due to high computational complexity, volumetric dependencies and the semantic gap between visual features and clinical terminology. Naively fine-tuning LLMs on limited medical data often leads to overfitting and clinical hallucination, where linguistic fluency is prioriti
The rapid advancement of LLMs and VLMs is pushing their application into specialized domains like medical imaging, prompting research into adaptation challenges and solutions.
Improving LLM adaptation for 3D medical imaging addresses critical hurdles in using AI for diagnostics, potentially accelerating clinical workflows and improving accuracy.
The research highlights that direct LLM fine-tuning is insufficient for complex medical data, requiring new approaches to integrate diagnostic priors and manage computational load.
