Background: Previous studies evaluated the ability of large language models (LLMs) in medical disciplines; however, few have focused on image analysis, and none specifically on cardiovascular imaging or nuclear cardiology. This study assesses four LLMs-GPT-4, GPT-4 Turbo, GPT-4omni (GPT-4o) (Open AI), and Gemini (Google Inc.)-in responding to questions from the 2023 American Society of Nuclear Cardiology Board Preparation Exam, reflecting the scope of the Certification Board of Nuclear Cardiology (CBNC) examination.

Background: Tc99m-pyrophosphate (Tc99m-PYP) scintigraphy has emerged as a diagnostic modality for transthyretin (TTR) cardiac amyloidosis (CA). We sought to examine the variability in test utilization across multiple centers in the US.

Methods: An electronic, web-based survey addressing specifics on Tc-99m PYP imaging was emailed to ASNC members, totaling 2785 recipients.
