NVIDIA Introduces NV-Reason-CT Open 3D CT VLM for Radiology
NVIDIA published a developer blog introducing NV-Reason-CT, an open vision language model for 3D computed tomography. The post says radiology AI has advanced on chest X-rays, pathology slides, and 2D scans, but 3D CT remains underserved: frontier general-purpose models perform poorly on volumetric imaging and most open medical AI models lack the needed capabilities.
