Large language models (LLMs) can provide more accurate and useful clinical histories for imaging orders than referring clinicians.
Key Details
- 1Study involved more than 28,000 deidentified UCSF patient records from 2012 to 2024.
- 2LLMs were prompted to generate clinical histories for imaging orders from patient notes.
- 320 radiologists (2-25 years experience) assessed the comprehensiveness, factuality, and conciseness of the indications.
- 4LLM-generated histories outperformed those written by referring providers in many cases, offering more accurate patient histories.
- 5Improved clinical context aids radiologists in protocol selection and diagnostic focus.
Why It Matters
Incomplete clinical context in imaging orders can compromise diagnostic accuracy and workflow efficiency. Integrating LLMs to enrich requisitions could enhance radiologists' ability to select optimal imaging protocols and deliver better patient care.
