BrainG3N: 3D Masked Autoencoder for Brain MRI (ViT-L)
Weights for BrainG3N: A Dual-Purpose Tokenizer for Controllable 3D Brain MRI Generation ( arXiv:2606.19651 ).
Self-supervised ViT-Large encoder for 3D brain MRI. Pretrained with masked autoencoding on ~33k volumes spanning 18 public cohorts, covering healthy controls, neurodegenerative disease, neurodevelopmental cohorts, and glioma. The frozen encoder produces general-purpose features for clinical probing without fine-tuning.
Model
| Architecture | ViT-Large masked autoencoder (12 layers, d=1152, 16 heads) |
| Patch size | 16x16x16 voxels |
| Input | 160x192x160 voxels, single channel |
| Tokens | 1,200 (CLS prepended during encoding, stripped from output) |
| Masking ratio | 0.7 |
Quick start
git clone https://huggingface.co/gevaertlab/braing3n
cd braing3n && pip install -r requirements.txt
from modeling import BrainMAEEncoder
from preprocessing import load_volume
encoder = BrainMAEEncoder.from_pretrained("gevaertlab/braing3n", device="cuda")
x = load_volume("sub-0001_t1_preprocessed.nii.gz") # [1, 1, 160, 192, 160]
tokens = encoder.encode(x.cuda()) # [1, 1200, 1152]
features = tokens.mean(dim=1) # [1, 1152]
features
is the representation used for the results reported in the paper.

Input requirements (read this)
The encoder expects volumes that are already skull-stripped and affinely registered to a common template . It applies only two on-the-fly steps: pad/crop to 160x192x160 and a nonzero-masked z-score. Feeding raw scanner output produces meaningless features -- this is the most common failure mode.
Data is z-scored, not scaled to [0, 1].

Limitations
- Structural MRI only (T1, T1c, T2, FLAIR). Not validated on DWI, SWI, fMRI, or CT.
- Site is near-perfectly decodable from the features (multi-way site AUC ~1.0), so scanner and acquisition signal is present in the representation. Use site-aware cross-validation for any downstream clinical claim.
- Not a medical device. Research use only.
