MR-RATE: A Vision-Language Foundation Model and Dataset for Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Paper: Coming soon   |   GitHub: Coming soon

Welcome to the official page for MR-RATE, a pioneering vision-language model and 3D medical imaging dataset that uniquely pairs textual data with brain and spine MRI volumes. Building on CT-RATE, the first 3D medical imaging dataset to pair images with textual reports, MR-RATE offers brain and spine MRI volumes matched with corresponding radiology reports and metadata, all freely accessible to researchers.

A novel dataset of brain and spine MRI volumes with corresponding radiology text reports and metadata

A major challenge in computational research in 3D medical imaging is the lack of comprehensive datasets. Addressing this issue, we present MR-RATE. MR-RATE consists of 705,254 non-contrast and contrast-enhanced brain and spine MRI volumes, from 98,334 imaging studies of 84,137 unique patients, along with corresponding radiology text reports and metadata.

Overview of the MR-RATE dataset construction pipeline. Brain and spinal MRI examinations are acquired from patients using an MRI scanner and organised into multiple imaging sequence categories, including T1-weighted, T2-weighted, FLAIR, SWI, and MRA. Each study is paired with associated metadata and a radiology report, which is produced by the radiologist during clinical interpretation. Together, these components constitute the MR-RATE dataset for multimodal brain MRI research.

The MR-RATE dataset is released across four Hugging Face repositories:

• Forithmus/MR-RATE (this repo): Native-space MRI volumes, along with the associated radiology text reports, metadata and data splits.
• Forithmus/MR-RATE-coreg: MRI volumes in co-registered space, where the moving modalities are registered to the T1-weighted center modality within each study.
• Forithmus/MR-RATE-atlas: MRI volumes in atlas space, where all modalities are registered to the MNI152 atlas.
• Forithmus/MR-RATE-seg: Multi-label brain segmentation maps.
