Prompt Engineering for Vision-Language Models in Radiology: A Practical Guide

Practical guide: for vision-language models in radiology, prompt engineering — the instructional and contextual input — is the critical lever on output quality and clinical usefulness. Covers core principles, radiologic examples, and limitations.

• Prompting is framed as the critical interaction determining the quality and clinical usefulness of a vision-language model's output in radiological use.
• The article reviews core prompting principles with practical radiological examples, and discusses model limitations relevant to clinical practice and education.
