GPT-4o matched the performance of experienced radiologists and surpassed residents in recommending follow-up imaging from routine radiology reports.
Key Details
- 1Study involved 100 CT/MRI oncologic cases across head and neck, liver, lung, and pancreas from two academic medical centers.
- 2GPT-4o, a radiology resident, and a board-certified radiologist each generated follow-up recommendations from report texts.
- 3Blinded senior radiologists rated recommendations for completeness, modality, timing, and overall quality on a five-point scale.
- 4GPT-4o achieved a median global quality score of 4 (same as board-certified, higher than resident), with 96% timing correctness and 92% completeness.
- 5GPT-4o showed the strongest performance in lung imaging (100% timing correctness).
- 6No significant differences found among readers for appropriateness of imaging modality.
Why It Matters
The findings demonstrate GPT-4o's potential to standardize and improve the consistency of follow-up imaging recommendations, supporting its use as a decision support tool in radiology. This could reduce variability, enhance guideline adherence, and assist radiologists in routine clinical workflows.
