Medical Imaging Foundation Models Face the Clinical Reality Test for Safe Deployment

Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Beihang University published a comprehensive review examining how medical imaging foundation models are being moved toward clinical use. While AI systems in medical imaging already assist with lesion detection and disease classification, most remain narrowly focused on single tasks. The review emphasizes that clinical translation depends on proving these models can deliver stable, verifiable value in real-world clinical environments rather than just performing well on benchmarks.
