Primer on Generative Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models in Medical Imaging

Abstract

The recent advent of large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, has drawn attention to generative artificial intelligence (AI) in a number of fields. Generative AI can produce different types of data including text, images, and voice, depending on the training methods and datasets used. Additionally, recent advancements in multimodal techniques, which can simultaneously process multiple data types like text and images, have expanded the potential of using multimodal generative AI in the medical environment where various types of clinical and imaging information are used together. This review summarizes the concepts and types of LLMs, image generative AI, and multimodal AI, and it examines the status and future possibilities of generative AI in the field of radiology.
