The article reviews foundation models (FMs) in medical image analysis, highlighting their shift from task‑specific AI to generalized representations learned from large datasets. It categorizes studies into vision‑only foundation models (VFMs) and vision‑language foundation models (VLFMs), mapping their architectures, training strategies, and clinical applications. The review includes quantitative analyses of dataset use, performance trends, and discusses challenges such as generalization, scalability, evaluation, fairness, and deployment, while proposing future research directions for robustness, interpretability, and clinical integration.

The study evaluates a deep‑learning model for pediatric pneumonia detection across chest X‑ray datasets from three countries, assessing discrimination, calibration, operating‑point transport, shortcut signals, and limited‑label recovery. Using a frozen DenseNet121 ensemble trained on Guangzhou data, the model achieved high internal AUROC (0.976) but performance dropped when applied zero‑shot to Bangladesh (AUROC 0.798) and Vietnam (AUROC 0.742). Limited‑label adaptation with Platt recalibration restored sensitivity but introduced significant specificity variability, highlighting the need to evaluate multiple performance dimensions in cross‑dataset transport studies.
