Researchers have adapted foundation models for analyzing cardiac MRI scans, achieving strong results in segmenting different views of cine MRI and estimating ejection fraction. The models demonstrated high Dice scores for cine segmentation across short-axis, two-chamber, and four-chamber views. While LGE scar segmentation proved challenging, the direct ejection fraction regression model achieved a low Mean Absolute Error and a high Pearson correlation coefficient, indicating the effectiveness of these adapted foundation models for multi-view cardiac analysis.

    Foundation Models Adaptation for Multi-View Multi-modal Cardiac MRI Segmentation and Direct Ejection Fraction Estimation

    arXiv:2608.07291v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Foundation models have shown strong transferability in cardiac MRI (CMR), but their effectiveness for heterogeneous multi-view and multi-sequence CMR analysis remains unclear. In this work, we explore the effectiveness of fine-tunin…
