Foundation vision-language model for cardiac MRI that learns pathophysiological visual representations directly from the natural-language radiology reports accompanying each scan, rather than from hand-labeled targets. A Multi-scale Vision Transformer (MViT, Kinetics-400-initialized) video encoder for cine CMR sequences is contrastively pretrained (InfoNCE) against a PubMed-pretrained BERT text encoder over 19,041 multi-institutional CMR studies. The frozen vision encoder transfers with strong performance to left-ventricular ejection-fraction regression (MAE 3.34% on a UK Biobank hold-out of ~4,259-45,623 participants) and detecting HFrEF (LVEF<40%, AUC 0.880), and the paper reports emergent zero-/few-shot performance across 39 cardiac and non-cardiac conditions including cardiac amyloidosis and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Code and pretrained MViT encoder weights are both released (Hugging Face, CC BY-NC 4.0).

Vision-language model that jointly embeds a cardiac MRI study, treated as video, with the impression section of its clinical report. Combines a video encoder over cine/LGE frame sequences with a Bio+ClinicalBERT text encoder using CLIP-style contrastive training. Supports zero-shot and few-shot classification of cardiomyopathies, amyloidosis, and LV dysfunction, plus image/report retrieval and structured report drafting. Trained on a private, single-institution corpus of roughly 11,000-14,000 CMR study-report pairs from Cleveland Clinic and Case Western.

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).
