Triad (3D-MRI self-supervised foundation backbone) -- Triad PlainConvUNet encoder (SimMIM-pretrained)

Description

Triad vision foundation model for 3D MRI, ported to JAX / Equinox from the upstream PyTorch release. Triad is an nnUNet PlainConvEncoder pretrained self-supervised on Triad-131K (131,170 3D MRI volumes spanning brain, breast, and prostate; T1/T2/FLAIR/DWI/fMRI/DCE) and serves as a transfer-learning backbone for downstream MRI segmentation, classification, and registration. The published checkpoints are encoder-only (the self-supervised decoder / mask token are stripped); this port exposes the pretrained encoder, whose multi-scale features are the transfer representation. Two backbone families are ported: the nnUNet PlainConvUNet encoder (TriadPlainConvUNet) and the 3D Swin Transformer encoder (TriadSwinViT, the Swin-B variant, via the shared nimox SwinViT primitive). Each is released under two self-supervised objectives -- masked autoencoding (MAE) and SimMIM -- as separate bundles (four in total).

Intended use

As the MAE variant, but pretrained with the SimMIM masked-image-modelling objective (in-place masking + L1 reconstruction). Same encoder architecture and Triad-131K corpus; provided so downstream users can pick whichever SSL objective transfers better for their task. Encoder-only.

Usage

from ilex.models.triad import TriadPlainConvUNet
model = TriadPlainConvUNet.from_pretrained('ilex-hub/triad.plainconvunet-simmim.1')
