Abstract: Purpose : To develop and evaluate CAPTOR, a deep-learning vision-language foundation model for oncologic chest-abdomen-pelvis (CAP) CT interpretation.
Materials & Methods : CAPTOR (Chest-Abdomen-Pelvis foundaTion model for Oncologic Radiology) is a contrastive vision-language model, trained using a pretraining strategy for oncologic CAP CT (in single- or multiple-series acquisitions), on a multicenter retrospective dataset from North America, Europe and Asia, predominantly from tumor lesion examinations. CAPTOR was compared with state-of-the-art CT foundation models on three downstream tasks: disease detection, survival prediction using TumorImagingBench and image retrieval. Classification and retrieval were both evaluated on held-out internal and public test sets, stratified by anatomical coverage and indication. Bootstrap resampling was used to estimate confidence intervals, and pairwise comparisons were performed using permutation tests.
Results : CAPTOR was trained and tested on 25,512 and 10,794 CT-report pairs respectively. TumorImagingBench datasets comprised between 134 and 421 studies each. CAPTOR outperformed all baseline models, on the classification task, on the CAP subset (AUC 0.767, 95%CI: 0.734-0.793, vs. 0.695, 95%CI: 0.645-0.736 for the next-best, p
