Guides, project breakdowns, and lessons learned from building medical imaging platforms — written by the PYCAD team.
One axial CT slice plus a binary spatial question. YOLO boxes, centroid geometry, then a 1/0 with an audit trail. YOLO weights ship; VLM checkpoints do not.
Short-axis cine-MRI in. Ascending and descending aorta overlays that survive systolic washout. Teacher ED labels, topology scrub, BiConvLSTM student. Public repo.
Qwen2.5-VL plus SAM2, one reserved token. A phrase or a sloppy ROI hangs a mask and a one-line caption. GitHub exists; weights are still coming.
Shared Swin encoder, physical slice spacing, one forward pass that writes the missing CT or MRI plane and its mask. The preprint lists no code.
Flow-matching 3D U-Net, three Euler steps, same recipe on portal CT, 7 T TOF-MRA, and coronary CTA. The preprint does not list code.
Fraunhofer MEVIS freezes Swin-B and adds a pyramid transformer. Breast MRI Dice 25.28% to 58.62% on 3,936 patients. nnU-Net 33.13% on the full set. Public UNICORN_ENCODER is 2D backbone only.
We build custom medical imaging platforms — advanced DICOM viewers, AI segmentation, and the clinical systems around them.
