2023 10 Oct
According to a recent analysis, published in European Radiology, ChatGPT and other large language models could prove useful in rewriting radiology reports that were were factually correct, complete and simplified. To assess the quality of simplified radiology reports, researchers from LMU University Hospital, Germany, tested the performance...Read more
Chatgpt-to-generate-highly-rated-radiology-reports
2023 27 Apr
A recent study evaluated the ability of ChatGPT to produce highly rated reports for distal radial fractures. Unfortunately, without a substantial increase in clinical imaging capacity, the growing demand for imaging services will lead to patients enduring longer-than-recommended waiting times, which inevitably leads to worse patient outcomes....Read more
