Rationale And Objectives: Radiology residents often receive limited feedback on preliminary reports issued during independent call. This study aimed to determine if Large Language Models (LLMs) can supplement traditional feedback by identifying missed diagnoses in radiology residents' preliminary reports.
Materials & Methods: A randomly selected subset of 500 (250 train/250 validation) paired preliminary and final reports between 12/17/2022 and 5/22/2023 were extracted and de-identified from our institutional database.
Background: Clinicians spend large amounts of their workday using electronic medical records (EMRs). Poorly designed documentation systems contribute to the proliferation of out-of-date information, increased time spent on medical records, clinician burnout, and medical errors. Beyond software interfaces, examining the underlying paradigms and organizational structures for clinical information may provide insights into ways to improve documentation systems.

Clinicians spend a substantial part of their workday reviewing and writing electronic medical notes. Here we describe how the current, widely accepted paradigm for electronic medical notes represents a poor organizational framework for both the individual clinician and the broader medical team. As described in this viewpoint, the medical chart-including notes, labs, and imaging results-can be reconceptualized as a dynamic, fully collaborative workspace organized by topic rather than time, writer, or data type.

However, patients with such findings frequently do not receive appropriate follow-up, partially due to the lack of tools for the management of such findings and the time required to maintain up-to-date lists. Natural language processing (NLP) is capable of extracting information from free-text clinical documents and could provide the basis for software solutions that do not require changes to clinical workflows.

We sought to develop an MR imaging-based deep learning model for posterior fossa tumor detection and tumor pathology classification.
