When Do Domain-Specific Foundation Models Justify Their Cost? A Systematic Evaluation Across Retinal Imaging Tasks
David Isztl, Tahm Spitznagel, Gabor Mark Somfai +1
Large vision foundation models have been widely adopted for retinal disease classification without systematic evidence justifying their parameter requirements. In the present work…
Is an Ultra Large Natural Image-Based Foundation Model Superior to a Retina-Specific Model for Detecting Ocular and Systemic Diseases?
Qingshan Hou, Yukun Zhou, Jocelyn Hui Lin Goh +19
The advent of foundation models (FMs) is transforming medical domain. In ophthalmology, RETFound, a retina-specific FM pre-trained sequentially on 1.4 million natural images and 1.…
Generalist versus Specialist Vision Foundation Models for Ocular Disease and Oculomics
Yukun Zhou, Paul Nderitu, Jocelyn Hui Lin Goh +20
Medical foundation models, pre-trained with large-scale clinical data, demonstrate strong performance in diverse clinically relevant applications. RETFound, trained on nearly one m…
FusionFM: Fusing Eye-specific Foundational Models for Optimized Ophthalmic Diagnosis
Ke Zou, Jocelyn Hui Lin Goh, Yukun Zhou +11
Foundation models (FMs) have shown great promise in medical image analysis by improving generalization across diverse downstream tasks. In ophthalmology, several FMs have recently…
