Radiology AI foundation model shift (2023-2025)
Radiology vendors shifted from narrow single-task AI models to foundation models trained on broad imaging datasets. The approach spread quickly through radiology and is now reaching pathology.
AI deployment in radiology accelerated as models could be adapted to multiple tasks.
Foundation models became the default architecture for medical imaging AI.
Fujifilm's Synapse Pathology AI Foundry applies the same pattern to pathology, training a general-purpose model on millions of pathology images.
