In older patients, the complex interplay between muscle deterioration, cognitive decline, and vascular dysfunction represents a crucial triad of health challenges associated with aging.1 Despite its known associations, the incremental prognostic value of vascular impairment in older patients with low muscle mass areas (MMAs) remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate whether the aortic tortuosity index (ATI) provides incremental prognostic value over muscle mass areas (MMAs) for predicting ad…

A Hitchhiker's Guide to Good Prompting Practices for Large Language Models in Radiology
Large language models (LLMs) are reshaping radiology through their advanced capabilities in tasks such as medical report generation and clinical decision support. However, their effectiveness is heavily influenced by prompt engineering—the design of input prompts that guide the model’s responses. This review aims to illustrate how different prompt engineering techniques, including zero-shot, one-shot, few-shot, chain of thought, and tree of thought, affect LLM performance in a radiology context.

Of Prompt Engineers and Babel Fish
By now, you’ve almost certainly heard of Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) and more recently, DeepSeek, artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots based on GPT large language models (LLMs) [1,2]. One way that a foundational GPT LLM can be adapted for targeted task-specific or subject matter domain-specific systems is by prompt engineering. Prompt engineering involves creating instructions for the model using natural language text questions or commands that may include relevant context…
