Health system learning enables generalist neuroimaging models.

Frontier artificial intelligence (AI) models have advanced rapidly through training on internet-scale public data, yet such systems lack access to private clinical data. Neuroimaging is underrepresented in the public domain due to identifiable facial features within magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scans, restricting model performance in clinical medicine. Here we show...
