Researchers have developed TACTIC, a novel prompt-based multimodal framework designed to integrate whole-body MRI (WB-MRI) with structured clinical data for improved disease diagnosis. This approach, detailed in an arXiv paper, uses conditional visual feature learning by encoding clinical attributes as prompts, allowing it to handle incomplete or missing tabular data without imputation. TACTIC was evaluated on five classification tasks, including diabetes, COPD, breast cancer, prostate cancer, and metastasis diagnosis, demonstrating improved performance over image-only methods when clinical information was present and maintaining strong predictive capabilities with incomplete data.
