# Med-VAE
|
|
|
|
Med-VAE is a family of six large-scale, generalizable 2D and 3D variational autoencoders (VAEs) designed for medical imaging. It is trained on over one million medical images across multiple anatomical regions and modalities. Med-VAE autoencoders encode medical images as downsized latent representations and decode latent representations back to high-resolution images. Across diverse tasks obtained from 20 medical image datasets, we demonstrate that utilizing MedVAE latent representations in place of high-resolution images when training downstream models can lead to efficiency benefits (up to 70x improvement in throughput) while simultaneously preserving clinically-relevant features.
