Foundation models for breast imaging

I am a PhD student at the University of Girona. I study how large pretrained vision and vision-language models can detect lesions and generate clinical text from mammography.

Research

Lesion detection

Adapting large pretrained vision backbones to localise masses, calcifications and other findings, with detection heads that transfer across views, scanners and datasets.

Text generation

Vision-language models that ground findings in the image and generate structured, clinically faithful radiology text, evaluated beyond n-gram overlap.

Foundation models for the breast

Self-supervised and multimodal pretraining on mammography, parameter-efficient fine-tuning, domain adaptation and zero- or few-shot transfer to new clinical tasks.

Interactive demo: mammography preprocessing

Models only perform as well as their inputs. This demo follows a 14-bit DICOM mammogram through windowing, breast cropping and resizing, and shows how annotations stay aligned at every step. It uses a synthetic image, with no patient data.
