## 🔍 Overview

This repository hosts pre-trained checkpoints from the **OpenMind** benchmark:  
📄 **"An OpenMind for 3D medical vision self-supervised learning"**  
([arXiv:2412.17041](https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.17041)) — the first extensive benchmark study for **self-supervised learning (SSL)** on **3D medical imaging** data.

The models were pre-trained using various SSL methods on the [OpenMind Dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/AnonRes/OpenMind), a large-scale, standardized collection of public brain MRI datasets.

**These models are not recommended to be used as-is.** Instead we recommend using the downstream fine-tuning pipelines for **segmentation** and **classification**, available in the [adaptation repository](https://github.com/TaWald/nnUNet).
*While direct download is possible, we recommend using the auto-download of the respective fine-tuning repositories.*

## 🧠 Model Variants

We release SSL checkpoints for two backbone architectures:

- **ResEnc-L**: A CNN-based encoder [[link1](https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.23132), [link2](https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.09556)]  
- **Primus-M**: A transformer-based encoder [[Primus paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.01835)]

Each encoder has been pre-trained using the following SSL techniques:
