CMRVision: A Foundation Model for Cardiac MR Image Analysis

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

CMRVision is a cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) foundation model trained with DINOv3-style self‑supervised learning on 36 million multi‑center, multi‑sequence CMR images. It outperforms prior natural‑image, medical‑image, supervised, and CMR baselines on multi‑task segmentation (cine, LGE, mapping) and cine view classification, achieving Dice scores of 0.940–0.967 for LV and 0.855–0.905 for myocardium, and a zero‑shot Dice of 0.692 on unseen LGE long‑axis views. The model demonstrates robust cross‑view generalization and highest average accuracy (0.906) for cine view classification.

SV-Cine: Diagnosis-Conditioned Segmentation of Single Ventricle Physiology via Generative Data Augmentation

The paper introduces SV-Cine, a cardiac MRI segmentation framework tailored for single ventricle physiology (SVP). It combines a generative data augmentation pipeline that creates synthetic 3D cardiac meshes and MRI, with a diagnosis-conditioned adaptation of the CineMA foundation model that uses patient-level diagnostic information to improve segmentation. Evaluations on an internal cohort show high Dice scores for left and right ventricles, outperforming nnU-Net, and demonstrate that incorporating diagnosis priors can adapt a pretrained model to specialized SVP tasks.

ORION-CMR: On-scanner Reporting with Integrated Foundation Model for End-to-End Cardiac MRI Analysis and Interpretation

ORION‑CMR is a scanner‑native, end‑to‑end foundation model for cardiac MRI that performs sequence classification, ventricular function assessment, LGE detection, disease classification, and generates reports in about 90 seconds. Trained on 12.9 million images, it outperformed supervised baselines and a prior CMR foundation model, achieving state‑of‑the‑art LGE classification and scar segmentation. In a multi‑vendor clinical cohort, it reached an AUC of 0.96 for normal‑vs‑abnormal detection and 0.88 for multiclass disease classification, with generated reports agreeing 81.4% with expert interpretation.
