Radiology AI has made remarkable strides in detecting abnormalities across chest X-rays, pathology slides, and 2D scans. Yet one of the most clinically rich and data-dense modalities—the 3D computed tomography (CT) scan—remains largely underserved by modern vision language models (VLMs). Frontier general-purpose models perform poorly on volumetric imaging, and most open medical AI models lack the…
