Abstract

Large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT are advanced artificial intelligence models that are designed to process and understand human language. LLMs have the potential to improve radiology reporting and patient engagement by automating generation of the clinical history and impression of a radiology report, creating layperson reports, and providing patients with pertinent questions and answers about findings in radiology reports. However, LLMs are error prone, and human oversight is needed to reduce the risk of patient harm.
