Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy and validity of patient explanations about nuclear medicine examinations generated in Japanese using ChatGPT- 3.5 and ChatGPT- 4.

Methods: ChatGPT was used to generate Japanese language explanations for seven single-photon emission computed tomography examinations (bone scintigraphy, brain perfusion imaging, myocardial perfusion imaging, dopamine transporter scintigraphy [DAT scintigraphy], sentinel lymph node scintigraphy, lung perfusion scintigraphy, and renal function scintigraphy) and ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography. Nineteen board-certified nuclear medicine technologists evaluated the accuracy and validity of the responses using a 5-point scale.

Results: ChatGPT- 4 demonstrated significantly higher accuracy and validity than ChatGPT- 3.5, with 77.9% of responses rated as above average or excellent for accuracy, in comparison to 36.3% for ChatGPT- 3.5. For validity, 73.1% of ChatGPT- 4's responses were rated as above average or excellent, in comparison to 19.6% for ChatGPT- 3.5. ChatGPT- 4 outperformed ChatGPT- 3.5 in all examinations, with notable improvements in bone scintigraphy, lung perfusion scintigraphy, and DAT scintigraphy.

Conclusion: These findings suggest that ChatGPT- 4 can be a valuable tool for providing patient explanations of nuclear medicine examinations. However, its application still requires expert supervision, and further research is needed to address potential risks and security concerns.

交互式人工智能可以用于日语核医学检查的患者解释吗？

目的：本研究旨在评价ChatGPT- 3.5和ChatGPT- 4在日语中生成的核医学检查患者解释的准确性和有效性。方法：使用ChatGPT对7项单光子发射计算机断层扫描检查（骨显像、脑灌注显像、心肌灌注显像、多巴胺转运体显像[DAT显像]、前哨淋巴结显像、肺灌注显像、肾功能显像）和18f -氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射显像生成日语解释。19名认证的核医学技术专家使用5分制评估了回答的准确性和有效性。结果：ChatGPT- 4的准确性和有效性明显高于ChatGPT- 3.5, 77.9%的回答被评为高于平均或优秀的准确性，而ChatGPT- 3.5的回答被评为36.3%。在效度方面，73.1%的ChatGPT- 4的回答被评为高于平均或优秀，而ChatGPT- 3.5的回答则为19.6%。ChatGPT- 4在各项检查中均优于ChatGPT- 3.5，在骨显像、肺灌注显像和DAT显像方面均有显著改善。结论：ChatGPT- 4可作为核医学检查的一种有价值的解释工具。然而，它的应用仍需要专家监督，并需要进一步研究以解决潜在的风险和安全问题。
