A Unified Approach to Radiological AI
OmniRad pioneers a self-supervised learning framework trained on a massive, heterogeneous collection of 1.2 million medical images from RadImageNet. This robust pretraining allows OmniRad to learn stable, modality-agnostic visual representations that generalize exceptionally well across diverse anatomical regions and imaging modalities.
Central to OmniRad's design is a task-agnostic representation paradigm. A single, shared encoder is pretrained once and then flexibly adapted to various downstream tasks—classification, segmentation, and even vision-language processing—without re-optimizing the core encoder. This strategy promotes unparalleled feature stability and reuse, directly addressing limitations of task-specific models and simplifying complex radiological AI workflows.
Leading Classification Accuracy Across Benchmarks
OmniRad demonstrates superior or near-superior classification performance across all MedMNISTv2 benchmarks. On BreastMNIST, OmniRad small achieved an F1 score of 89.42%, significantly outperforming baseline models. Similarly, on PneumoniaMNIST, it established a leading F1 score of 94.85%, showcasing robust generalization on chest radiographs, even with limited data.
For multi-organ CT benchmarks like OrganAMNIST, OrganCMNIST, and OrganSMNIST, OmniRad consistently achieved the highest F1 scores. For instance, on OrganSMNIST, OmniRad base reached 80.97% F1, surpassing DINOv3 small (78.92%) and Radio DINO base (78.15%). These results affirm OmniRad's ability to handle higher anatomical heterogeneity and richer class distributions, validating its specialized radiological pretraining strategy against general-purpose foundation models.
Unmatched Precision in Dense Prediction
OmniRad excels in dense prediction tasks, achieving the strongest aggregated segmentation performance across all evaluated foundation models on MedSegBench datasets. The base variant attained a remarkable mean Dice score of 92.95% and mIoU of 87.93%, establishing OmniRad as an optimal choice for unified experimental settings in radiological segmentation.
Our architectural adaptations, specifically a parallel convolutional branch, enable efficient dense radiological segmentation while keeping the OmniRad Image Encoder frozen. This approach leverages multi-scale feature extraction for hierarchical representations, allowing OmniRad to produce tighter predictions with minimal over- or under-segmentation, effectively capturing fine-grained anatomical boundaries across diverse modalities like CT, MRI, and ultrasound.
Pioneering Vision-Language Integration for Radiology
In an exploratory evaluation, OmniRad demonstrated strong visual-semantic alignment for radiological image captioning. Using a frozen OmniRad backbone with a BART-based decoding framework on the ROCOv2 benchmark, OmniRad base achieved the highest BLEU score of 2.97 and ROUGE-L of 17.48, maintaining superior performance across all beam sizes.
This integration highlights OmniRad's capacity to provide a stable and transferable representation for language grounding in radiological imagery without modifying the pretrained encoder. The consistent high performance in captioning, alongside classification and segmentation, underscores OmniRad's versatility and potential for multimodal AI applications in radiology, paving the way for advanced report generation and contextual understanding.
