• Abstract: Understanding 3D medical image volumes is a critical task in the medical domain. However, existing 3D convolution and transformer-based methods have limited semantic understanding of an image volume and also need a large set of volumes for training. Recent advances in multi-modal large language models (MLLMs) provide a new and promising way to understand images with the help of text descriptions. However, most current MLLMs are designed for 2D natural images. To enhance the 3D medical image understanding with 2D MLLMs, we propose a novel pre-training framework called Med3DInsight, which marries existing 3D image encoders with 2D MLLMs and bridges them via a designed Plane-Slice-Aware Transformer (PSAT) module. Extensive experiments demonstrate our SOTA performance on two downstream segmentation and classification tasks, including three public datasets with CT and MRI modalities and comparison to more than ten baselines. Med3DInsight can be easily integrated into any current 3D medical image understanding network and improves its performance by a good margin.

  3D vision and spatial reasoning have long been recognized as preferable for accurately perceiving our three-dimensional world. Due to the difficulties in collecting high-quality 3D data, research in this area has only recently gained momentum. We propose converting existing densely activated LLMs into mixture-of-experts (MoE) models, which have proven effective for multi-modal data processing.

  We introduce MS-VLM that mimic radiologists' workflow in 3D medical image interpretation.

MS-VLM is capable of obtaining useful volumetric representations from 3D medical images with any slice length and from multiple images acquired from different planes and phases.

We introduce RefSAM3D, which adapts SAM for 3D medical imaging by incorporating a 3D image adapter and cross-modal reference prompt generation. Our contributions advance the application of SAM in accurately segmenting complex anatomical structures in medical imaging.

  We propose Med-2E3, a novel MLLM for 3D medical image analysis that integrates 3D and 2D encoders. To aggregate 2D features more effectively, we design a Text-Guided Inter-Slice (TG-IS) scoring module, which scores the attention of each 2D slice based on slice contents and task instructions. Experiments on a large-scale, open-source 3D medical multimodal benchmark demonstrate that Med-2E3 exhibits task-specific attention distribution and significantly outperforms current state-of-the-art models.

Our method begins with a 2D slice, noted as the informed slice to serve the patient prior, and propagates the generation process using a 3D segmentation mask. By decomposing the 3D medical images into masks and patient prior information, GEM-3D offers a flexible yet effective solution for generating versatile 3D images.

We conduct experiments on two large-scale 3D datasets, NN and ShapeNet, and augment them with tri-modal datasets of 3D point clouds, captioning, and language for training. Experiments show that NN-2 demonstrates substantial benefits in three downstream tasks: zero-shot 3D classification, standard 3D classification with finetuning, and 3D (3D
