The paper introduces SonoCorpus, an open dataset of 456,963 ultrasound images with 1,626,085 expert masks from 53 public sources across 24 clinical applications and 17 countries, and SonoBase, an interactive segmentation foundation model pretrained on this data. SonoBase outperforms existing models (SAM2, MedSAM2, MedSAM3) on fifteen diverse evaluation datasets, matching specialist models and achieving clinically relevant accuracy for metrics such as ejection fraction, fetal head circumference, and gestational age. The authors provide full reproducibility resources, including checkpoints, optimizer states, and starter code, to enable community adoption and further development.
