Large language models like Google's Gemini demonstrate higher accuracy and greater empathy than human providers when answering patient questions about interventional radiology.
Key Details
- 1Study compared well-known LLMs and a human IR provider in answering patient queries on varicocele embolization.
- 2LLMs' responses were both accurate and empathetic.
- 3Published analysis appeared in Frontiers in Radiology.
- 4The head-to-head comparison approach is relatively rare in existing research.
- 5Expert authors suggest LLMs as valuable assistive tools in patient-provider communication.
Why It Matters
The findings indicate that AI-powered LLMs can play an important role in enhancing patient education and communication within radiology. This could potentially improve patient understanding and satisfaction for interventional radiology procedures.
