Vision-language framework for multi-sequence brain magnetic resonance imaging

Structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a cornerstone for diagnosing neurological disorders, yet automated interpretation of multi-sequence brain MRI remains limited by challenges in cross sequence reasoning and protocol variability. Here we present ReMIND, a vision-language modeling framework tailored for comprehensive multi-sequence and multi volumetric brain MRI analysis. Trained on over 73,000 deidentified patient visits encompassing more than 850,000 MRI sequences paired with radiology reports from diverse clinical and research cohorts, ReMIND combined large scale instruction tuning on more than one million clinically grounded question answer (QA) pairs with targeted supervised fine-tuning for radiology report generation. At inference, ReMIND employed modality aware reranking and correction, a report level decoding strategy that suppressed unsupported modality claims while preserving linguistic fluency and clinical coherence. Cross-cohort generalization was maintained on independent external datasets from different institutions. These findings represent an advance toward consistent and equitable brain MRI interpretation, meriting prospective evaluation to support diagnosis and management of neurological conditions.
