Jury still out on clinical use of ChatGPT
ChatGPT has been effective in 84% of radiology research studies, yet it is still too soon to confirm its complete proficiency for clinical applications, according to a team at the University of California, Los Angeles.
A group led by Pedram Keshavarz, MD, performed a systematic literature review and found that 37 out of 44 (84.1%) radiology studies show ChatGPT's effectiveness, yet none suggested its unsupervised use in clinical practice.
“Although ChatGPT seems to have the potential to revolutionize radiology, it is too soon to confirm its complete proficiency and accuracy,” the group wrote in a study published Apri...

AI brings scoliosis monitoring on x-rays into modern era
In this study, the authors aimed to leverage AI to improve these methods by training a convolutional neural network (CNN) model to automatically measure femorotibial length on x-ray images from a racially diverse set of pediatric patients.
The study data included 1,874 examinations from 523 pediatric patients aged 0 to 21 who underwent at least two slot-scanning radiographs in routine clinical care. Forty percent of the patients self-identified as white and not Hispanic or Latino and 60% self-identified as belonging to a different racial or ethnic group, the authors noted.The lower extremity measurement pipeline is illust...
