RadGPT, an AI-driven tool, demonstrates high-quality performance in translating radiology reports for patients' understanding.
Key Details
- 1RadGPT, developed with ChatGPT-4, generates concept explanations and patient-focused Q&A for radiology report impressions.
- 2Radiologists rated 95% of the AI-generated explanations at 4 or higher (out of 5) for quality, with an average of 4.8.
- 3LLM-generated questions and answers received significantly higher quality ratings than template-based alternatives.
- 4The tool was validated on 30 reports spanning CT, MRI, and x-ray modalities.
- 5Inter-rater agreement among evaluators was high, with Fleiss’ kappa values of 0.66 (answers/explanations) and 0.65 (questions).
Why It Matters
Providing patients with clear, comprehensible information about their radiology findings is increasingly important due to transparency mandates like the Cures Act. Tools like RadGPT may reduce confusion, enhance patient engagement, and decrease the educational burden on radiology staff.
