Rationale And Objectives: The expansion of large language models to process images offers new avenues for application in radiology. This study aims to assess the multimodal capabilities of contemporary large language models, which allow analysis of image inputs in addition to textual data, on radiology board-style examination questions with images.

Materials And Methods: 280 questions were retrospectively selected from the AuntMinnie public test bank.

Background The burgeoning interest in ChatGPT as a potentially useful tool in medicine highlights the necessity for systematic evaluation of its capabilities and limitations. Purpose To evaluate the accuracy, reliability, and repeatability of differential diagnoses produced by ChatGPT from transcribed radiologic findings. Materials and Methods Cases selected from a radiology textbook series spanning a variety of imaging modalities, subspecialties, and anatomic pathologies were converted into standardized prompts that were entered into ChatGPT (GPT-3.

Objectives: Patients are increasingly being given direct access to their medical records. However, radiology reports are written for clinicians and typically contain medical jargon, which can be confusing. One solution is for radiologists to provide a "colloquial" version that is accessible to the layperson.

Background: Lipoleiomyomas are uncommon uterine lesions containing adipose and smooth muscle tissue. They have a variable presentation and are usually found incidentally on imaging or post-hysterectomy tissue analysis. Given their low prevalence, there is a dearth of literature describing imaging characteristics for uterine lipoleiomyomas.

Article Synopsis
  • Hepatosplenomegaly is typically diagnosed by examining size measurements, but using volumetric assessments can lead to more accurate diagnoses of liver and spleen enlargement.
  • Artificial intelligence, specifically convolutional neural networks (CNNs), has been employed to automatically segment and measure liver and spleen volumes from a large dataset of CT scans, achieving high accuracy when compared to manual measurements.
  • The study found significant differences in liver and spleen volumes between genders, leading to sex-specific thresholds for diagnosing hepatomegaly and splenomegaly, with the CNNs outperforming radiologist assessments in accuracy and diagnostic performance.

HELLP syndrome (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets) is a relatively rare condition that can complicate pregnancies. We present a 31-year-old gravida 5 para 0 female at 37-3/7 weeks gestation who presented with sudden onset severe epigastric pain, shortness of breath, diaphoresis, bradycardia, and elevated blood pressure. A Rapid Response Team (RRT) was called, and the patient was treated with IV magnesium in addition to blood pressure control medications.

Chilaiditi's sign is a rare radiological finding in which a portion of the colon or small intestine is interposed between the liver and right hemidiaphragm. We present a 28-year-old male who came to the emergency room with nausea and vomiting. A computed tomography scan without contrast of the abdomen and pelvis showed a new focus of air in the perihepatic region, suggesting a pneumoperitoneum or a loop of bowel.

Fallopian tube fistula with the bladder can mimic an enterovaginal fistula. A 34-year-old woman presented with continuous urinary incontinence after hysterectomy. A cystogram confirmed a vesicovaginal fistula and a possible additional intestinal communication.
