Are Natural-Domain Foundation Models Effective for Accelerated Cardiac MRI Reconstruction?

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2604.22557v1 Announce Type: cross The emergence of large-scale pretrained foundation models has transformed computer vision, enabling strong performance across diverse downstream tasks. However, their potential for physics-based inverse problems, such as accelerated cardiac MRI reconstruction, remains largely underexplored. In this work, we investigate whether natural-domain foundation models can serve as effective image priors for accelerated cardiac MRI reconstruction, and compare the performance obtained against domain-specific counterparts such as Biomed
