FOMO25 challenge explores foundation models for clinical brain MRI analysis

Researchers organized the FOMO25 challenge to address the difficulties in deploying AI for brain MRI analysis in clinical settings. The challenge provided a large pretraining dataset, FOMO60K, and evaluated nineteen foundation models on tasks like infarct classification and brain age regression using data from actual clinical workflows. Findings indicated that self-supervised pretraining enhances generalization on clinical data, with some out-of-domain trained models outperforming in-domain supervised models. The study also noted that different pretraining objectives are better suited for specific tasks, and that smaller pretrained models can achieve strong performance without significant benefits from scaling.

    Towards Brain MRI Foundation Models for the Clinic: Findings from the FOMO25 Challenge

    arXiv:2604.11679v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Clinical deployment of automated brain MRI analysis faces a fundamental challenge: clinical data is heterogeneous and noisy, and high-quality labels are prohibitively costly to obtain. Self-supervised learning (SSL) can address …
