%X OBJECTIVE: To assess the capabilities of large language models (LLMs), including Open AI (GPT-4.0) and Microsoft Bing (GPT-4), in generating structured reports, the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) categories, and management recommendations from free-text breast ultrasound reports.
METHODS: In this retrospective study, 100 free-text breast ultrasound reports from patients who underwent surgery between January and May 2023 were gathered. The capabilities of Open AI (GPT-4.0) and Microsoft Bing (GPT-4) to convert these unstructured reports into structured ultrasound reports were studied. The quality of structured reports, BI-RADS categories, and management recommendations generated by GPT-4.0 and Bing were evaluated by senior radiologists based on the guidelines.
RESULTS: Open AI (GPT-4.0) was better than Microsoft Bing (GPT-4) in terms of performance in generating structured reports (88% vs. 55%; p < 0.001), giving correct BI-RADS categories (54% vs. 47%; p = 0.013) and providing reasonable management recommendations (81% vs. 63%; p < 0.001). As the ability to predict benign and malignant characteristics, GPT-4.0 performed significantly better than Bing (AUC, 0.9317 vs. 0.8177; p < 0.001), while both performed significantly inferior to senior radiologists (AUC, 0.9763; both p < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights the potential of LLMs, specifically Open AI (GPT-4.0), in converting unstructured breast ultrasound reports into structured ones, offering accurate diagnoses and providing reasonable recommendations.
