Abstract

Aim

This current research aimed to evaluate the potential usefulness of ChatGPT in queries related to radiation biology and radiation protection. The study also aimed to evaluate recommendations for its usage in oral and maxillofacial radiology training.

Materials and Methods

A 40-question questionnaire was queried to the open-AI app ChatGPT3 application. There was an equal distribution of random questions on the basis of 2 categories; related to radiation biology and radiation protection. One oral and maxillofacial radiologist evaluated those queries that were answered by ChatGPT 3 model and rated them on a 4-point modified Likert scale. The post-survey analysis for its performance of ChatGPT was based on Strength Weakness Opportunity and threat analysis and its application in oral and maxillofacial radiology training and its recommendation of use.

Results

The mean scores for the queries related to radiation biology and radiation protection were 3.7 and 3.45, respectively. However, the median and mode scores were 4 and were similar to both categories. Of 40 queries, 2 abbreviations were queried from the segment of radiation protection, and none of them was answered correctly. The queries need to be very specific to get an appropriate response.

Conclusion

The study showed that ChatGPT-3 being a descriptive model is quite competent in answering queries related to radiation biology and radiation protection. ChatGPT can be used as an adjunct when an oral radiologist needs a piece of supplementary information; however, the data have a possibility of errors and high risk of infodemics. The information provided by ChatGPT is more advantageous for the queries of the general public, supplemented by the confirmatory responses from the oral and maxillofacial radiologists of that state.
