AI model predicts brain disorders from MRI scans. ICT&health March 4, 2026 Journalistic Team Researchers at Mass General Brigham and Harvard Medical School have developed a new AI model that can predict multiple brain disorders based on MRI scans. According to the researchers, the so-called foundation model, Brain Imaging Adaptive Core (BrainIAC), performs better than many AI models that are trained for a single specific task. Artificial intelligence has long been used to recognize patterns in medical imaging. By analyzing MRI scans, algorithms can find clues to tumors, strokes, or neurodegenerative disorders, for example. However, most existing models are designed to detect only one disorder. BrainIAC, as described in Nature Neuroscience, takes a different approach. The model was pre-trained on nearly 49,000 MRI scans of the brain and functions as a generic AI base...
