Foundation Models & Self-Supervised Learning in Imaging: What is it? Why should I care?

Presented by Pritam Mukherjee, PhD, Jacob Luber, PhD in Cardiology, Dermatology, Ophthalmology, Pathology, Radiology Jun 11, 2026 | 3:30 PM.

The traditional "one-task, one-model" paradigm in medical AI has created a fragmented ecosystem of siloed algorithms that lack clinical context and cross-modality reasoning. While individual tools excel at narrow tasks like nodule detection, they fail to integrate longitudinal patient data, such as EMR notes, genomic markers, and historical imaging series, leading to "alert fatigue" and incomplete diagnostic…
