UCL / Mycardium (Fu et al.)
Foundation model for cine cardiac MRI, self-supervised via masked autoencoding on nearly 75,000 UK Biobank scans. Uses a Vision Transformer with a convolutional stem, unified across long-axis and short-axis views. Fine-tuned checkpoints are released for ventricle and myocardium segmentation, ejection-fraction regression, cardiovascular disease classification, and landmark localization across several public benchmark datasets (ACDC, M&Ms, M&Ms2, EMIDEC, and others).
