An experiment using a hands-free, generative AI system is helping dramatically reduce the time radiologists spend creating reports, according to new research.
Generating such documents is essential for patient management but is often time-consuming and labor intensive, experts wrote Tuesday in the Journal of the American College of Radiology [1]. Stony Brook University radiologists experimented with using large language model GPT-4 to aid physicians in this process.
For the study, radiologists used voice-to-text software to dictate their findings and create a raw text transcript. Researchers then used GPT-4 to develop a radiology report based on Stony Brook University Hospital’s institutional imaging template.
“The AI-driven system demonstrated considerable proficiency in transcribing and generating radiology reports, albeit with occasional inaccuracies,”...
