The paper introduces Neuro‑JEPA, a sparse multimodal foundation model that learns unified representations of brain MRI across T1w, T2w, and FLAIR sequences using a latent predictive objective and a Mixture‑of‑Experts architecture. It was pretrained on over 1.5 million scans from 428,647 studies and systematically evaluates architectural, masking, objective, and sparsity choices for robust multimodal representation learning. Across 47 tasks from three health systems and 12 public datasets, Neuro‑JEPA consistently outperforms a simple CNN baseline, demonstrating its effectiveness for both clinical and research applications.
The paper introduces MedREAL, a unified framework that aligns linguistic reasoning with spatial grounding for medical visual question answering and segmentation. MedREAL employs Seg Anchored Reasoning Pooling (SARP) to extract semantic evidence from segmentation tokens and a Reasoning-to-Visual (R2V) fusion mechanism to integrate these features into a segmentation pipeline. Using the newly created MedRAVS-13K dataset, MedREAL achieves superior performance, reporting 68.49% gIoU and 70.47% cIoU, and generates evidence masks that consistently match textual diagnoses.
The study presents an explainable multimodal deep‑learning framework that combines a 3D CNN for T1‑weighted MRI with a feedforward network for harmonized clinical and demographic data to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease. Using 6,479 ADNI records and 1,703 OASIS‑3 records, the authors compare various model configurations on three‑way and pairwise diagnostic tasks, finding that performance and explanations vary by task, modality, fusion strategy, and cohort. SHAP and Integrated Gradients consistently highlight the MMSE score as the most influential tabular feature, while CAM‑based explanations differ across model setups and cohorts, indicating that explainability is not a stable property under cohort shift.
