Aim: To evaluate the accuracy of the Emergency Severity Index (ESI) assignments by GPT-4, a large language model (LLM), compared to senior emergency department (ED) nurses and physicians.
Method: An observational study of 100 consecutive adult ED patients was conducted. ESI scores assigned by GPT-4, triage nurses, and by a senior clinician.
Purpose: While mammography is considered the gold standard for screening women for breast cancer, its accuracy declines in women with dense breasts. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of contrast enhanced mammography (CEM) for detecting breast cancer in intermediate and high-risk women, including those with genetic predispositions, over a decade-long cohort at a tertiary center.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed all CEM examinations performed for screening purposes at a tertiary center between 2012 and 2023.

Background: Differential diagnosis in radiology relies on the accurate identification of imaging patterns. The use of large language models (LLMs) in radiology holds promise, with many potential applications that may enhance the efficiency of radiologists' workflow. The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of generative pre-trained transformer (GPT)-4, a LLM, in providing differential diagnoses in neuroradiology, comparing its performance with board-certified neuroradiologists.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjectives: This study aims to assess the performance of a multimodal artificial intelligence (AI) model capable of analyzing both images and textual data (GPT-4V), in interpreting radiological images. It focuses on a range of modalities, anatomical regions, and pathologies to explore the potential of zero-shot generative AI in enhancing diagnostic processes in radiology.
Methods: We analyzed 230 anonymized emergency room diagnostic images, consecutively collected over 1 week, using GPT-4V.
Large language models (LLMs) are transforming the field of natural language processing (NLP). These models offer opportunities for radiologists to make a meaningful impact in their field. NLP is a part of artificial intelligence (AI) that uses computer algorithms to study and understand text data.

Ancillary signs like joint effusion or lipo-hemarthrosis are indicative of fractures, suggesting the need for further imaging. Artificial Intelligence (AI) can automate image analysis, improving diagnostic accuracy and help prioritizing clinically important X-ray or CT studies.

Limited data exist regarding the glymphatic system's involvement in pediatric patients with IIH. Therefore, the study's objective was to quantitatively evaluate alterations in parenchymal diffusivity and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-visible dilated perivascular spaces (PVS) as imaging indicators of glymphatic dysfunction in pediatric patients with IIH.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective review of patients who underwent limb revascularizations using the BeBack catheter between 2015 and 2022. All patients had an initial failed attempt using a traditional guidewire and catheter technique.
Purpose: The growing application of deep learning in radiology has raised concerns about cybersecurity, particularly in relation to adversarial attacks. This study aims to systematically review the literature on adversarial attacks in radiology.
Methods: We searched for studies on adversarial attacks in radiology published up to April 2023, using MEDLINE and Google Scholar databases.
This study explores the potential of OpenAI's ChatGPT as a decision support tool for acute ulcerative colitis presentations in the setting of an emergency department. We assessed ChatGPT's performance in determining disease severity using TrueLove and Witts criteria and the necessity of hospitalization for patients with ulcerative colitis, comparing results with those of expert gastroenterologists. Of 20 cases, ChatGPT's assessments were found to be 80% consistent with gastroenterologist evaluations and indicated a high degree of reliability.
