系统梳理医学影像基础模型的适应机制与临床部署权衡。
Toward Clinically Ready Foundation Models in Medical Image Analysis: Adaptation Mechanisms and Deployment Trade-offs
- 将适应分为五类:参数、表征、目标、数据和架构级,逐项分析优劣
- 揭示不同适应策略对模型鲁棒性、校准性和监管合规性的影响
- 适合关注模型临床落地的研究者与医疗AI开发者
基础模型(FMs)在医学影像任务中展现出强泛化能力,但其临床可用性取决于预训练表征如何适配特定领域数据、监督方式和部署约束。现有综述多聚焦架构进步与应用覆盖,而对适应机制及其对鲁棒性、校准性与监管可行性的影响缺乏系统梳理。本文提出一种以策略为中心的医学图像分析(MIA)中基础模型适应框架,将适应视为预训练后的干预过程,并将现有方法归纳为五类:参数、表征、目标、数据中心及架构/序列级适应。针对每类机制,分析适应深度、标签效率、域鲁棒性、计算成本、可审计性与监管负担之间的权衡。综合分类、分割与检测任务证据,强调适应策略如何影响临床相关失效模式,而非仅关注基准性能。最后探讨适应选择与验证协议、校准稳定性、多机构部署及监管审查的交互关系。通过将适应重构为在临床约束下可控的表征演化过程,本综述为设计鲁棒、可审计且适配临床部署的FM系统提供实践指导。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Foundation models (FMs) have demonstrated strong transferability across medical imaging tasks, yet their clinical utility depends critically on how pretrained representations are adapted to domain-specific data, supervision regimes, and deployment constraints. Prior surveys primarily emphasize architectural advances and application coverage, while the mechanisms of adaptation and their implications for robustness, calibration, and regulatory feasibility remain insufficiently structured. This review introduces a strategy-centric framework for FM adaptation in medical image analysis (MIA). We conceptualize adaptation as a post-pretraining intervention and organize existing approaches into five mechanisms: parameter-, representation-, objective-, data-centric, and architectural/sequence-level adaptation. For each mechanism, we analyze trade-offs in adaptation depth, label efficiency, domain robustness, computational cost, auditability, and regulatory burden. We synthesize evidence across classification, segmentation, and detection tasks, highlighting how adaptation strategies influence clinically relevant failure modes rather than only aggregate benchmark performance. Finally, we examine how adaptation choices interact with validation protocols, calibration stability, multi-institutional deployment, and regulatory oversight. By reframing adaptation as a process of controlled representational change under clinical constraints, this review provides practical guidance for designing FM-based systems that are robust, auditable, and compatible with clinical deployment.
