Large language models (LLMs) are poised to have a disruptive impact on health care. Numerous studies have demonstrated promising applications of LLMs in medical imaging, and this number will grow as LLMs further evolve into large multimodal models (LMMs) capable of processing both text and images. Given the substantial roles that LLMs and LMMs will have in health care, it is important for physicians to understand the underlying principles of these technologies so they can use them more effectively and responsibly and help guide their development.
