Open ultrasound foundation model for robust segmentation and clinical measurement across heterogeneous settings

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 16, 2026 · UTC

Ultrasound is the most widely deployed imaging modality worldwide, yet clinical AI remains fragmented into narrow single-task models that fail when device, operator, or anatomy changes. Here we present SonoCorpus, an open resource unifying 456,963 images and 1,626,085 expert masks from 53 public datasets spanning 24 clinical applications and 17 countries, and SonoBase, an interactive segmentation foundation model pretrained on it. Across fifteen evaluation datasets introducing new organs, devices, operators, and geographies, SonoBase outperforms SAM2, MedSAM2, and the concept-promptable MedSAM
