Abstract

This invention provides a full-stack medical imaging foundation model for performing medical image segmentation, classification, and localization using a unified language-image correlation mechanism. This invention leverages pre-trained language-guided associations to automatically identify and localize disease targets without requiring medical imaging knowledge or manual bounding box prompts. This invention enables comprehensive clinical tasks across multiple disease categories and various medical imaging techniques, improving segmentation efficiency and reducing the burden of manual input. By utilizing the operability of plain text prompts from non-radiologists, this invention improves real-world applicability and enables the deployment of foundation model-based segmentation in diverse clinical settings.
