Join CVPR 2026 Challenge: Foundation Models for General CT Image Diagnosis!
Develop & benchmark your 3D CT foundation model on a large-scale, clinically relevant challenge at CVPR 2026!

What's the Challenge?
Evaluate how well CT foundation models generalize across anatomical regions, including the abdomen and chest, under realistic clinical settings such as severe class imbalance.
Task 1 – Linear Probing: Test your frozen pretrained representations directly.
Task 2 – Embedding Aggregation Optimization: Design custom heads, learning schedules, and fine-tuning strategies using publicly available pretrained weights.

Accessible to All Teams
Teams with limited compute can compete via the Coreset (10%) track, and Task 2 requires no pretraining — just design an optimization strategy on top of existing foundation model weights.

Key Dates
Validation submissions: – May 10, 2026
Test submissions: May 10 – May 15, 2026
Paper deadline: June 1, 2026
We’d love to see your model on the leaderboard and welcome you to join the challenge!
