This study aims to develop an AI-assisted diagnostic system for abdominal contrast-enhanced CT images using data from multiple inpatient centers. In collaboration with Alibaba DAMO Academy, the project will address key mathematical challenges limiting current automated image interpretation, including feature space alignment, hybrid reasoning, and multimodal report generation. The study includes the following components: (1) construction of a dual-modality foundation model to align abdominal CT features with corresponding radiology reports; (2) development of a model to standardize CT phase variation among patients; and (3) creation of an automated image interpretation and reporting system that integrates multi-source clinical data. The effectiveness of the system will be evaluated through a report quality assessment framework and clinical validation. This project aims to improve the accuracy and clinical applicability of automated abdominal disease interpretation and promote intelligent innovation in healthcare delivery.

Performance of AI Model for Lesion Detection on Abdominal Contrast-Enhanced CT
The primary outcome is the overall performance of the AI model in detecting and characterizing lesions in abdominal organs using multiphase contrast-enhanced CT scans. Performance will be measured using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), F1-score, sensitivity, and specificity, with expert radiologist consensus reports as the reference standard.
Time frame: After internal and external validation datasets are processed (estimated 6-12 months)
