Large language model (LLM) agents are beginning to automate machine learning engineering (MLE) by coupling planning, code execution, debugging, and empirical feedback. Translating this capability to medical imaging remains difficult because each task imposes modality-specific experimentation and strict requirements for validation protocols and prediction artifacts.
The study presents a virtual imaging trial framework that uses reinforcement learning to optimize computed tomography (CT) protocols, balancing liver lesion detectability against radiation dose. By training a Proximal Policy Optimization agent on 63 computational human models across 468 parameter combinations, the authors demonstrate that evaluating only eight protocols per patient—about 2% of exhaustive testing—recovers 98.2% of the optimal objective. Conditioning the agent on patient‑specific CT localizer embeddings further improves zero‑simulation recovery by 10.7 percentage points compared to a localizer‑blind policy.
