Abstract: From Foundation Models to Clinical Deployment Abstract This talk will cover multimodal foundation models for 3D medical imaging, including CT and MRI, with applications in image understanding, report generation, and generative modeling. It will focus on the challenges of learning 3D representations from radiology reports alone, the importance of broader clinical context, and approaches for cases where such context is incomplete or unavailable. Neuroimaging applications and the path from research models to clinical deployment, including evaluation, integration, and physician interaction, will also be discussed.
Bio: Ibrahim Ethem Hamamci is co-founder and CEO of Forithmus, a medical AI company backed by top-tier VCs. He studied medicine and computer science at Istanbul Medipol University and completed his MD-PhD research at ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich on multimodal learning and foundation models for 3D medical imaging. He was previously a Google PhD Fellow and researcher at Microsoft Research Cambridge.
