Med3DVLM introduces a groundbreaking approach that efficiently processes volumetric medical image data while maintaining clinical text alignment, overcoming key barriers in 3D medical analysis.

Key Innovations:

• DCFormer: Efficient encoder using decomposed 3D convolutions to capture detailed spatial features at scale
• SigLIP: Contrastive learning framework that aligns visual and textual representations
• Optimized for medical applications including radiology report generation and medical visual question answering

Why It Matters: Traditional vision-language models struggle with 3D medical data due to computational demands and alignment challenges. Med3DVLM's innovations directly address these limitations, opening new possibilities for automated diagnosis, report generation, and clinical decision support in radiology.
