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.…
An integrated language-vision foundation model for conversational diagnostics and triaging in primary eye care
Zhi Da Soh, Yang Bai, Kai Yu +28
Current deep learning models are mostly task specific and lack a user-friendly interface to operate. We present Meta-EyeFM, a multi-function foundation model that integrates a larg…
Are Traditional Deep Learning Model Approaches as Effective as a Retinal-Specific Foundation Model for Ocular and Systemic Disease Detection?
Samantha Min Er Yew, Xiaofeng Lei, Jocelyn Hui Lin Goh +26
Background: RETFound, a self-supervised, retina-specific foundation model (FM), showed potential in downstream applications. However, its comparative performance with traditional d…
