Abstract

BACKGROUND: The introduction of ChatGPT-4V's 'Chat with images' feature represents the beginning of the era of large multimodal models (LMMs), which allows ChatGPT to process and answer questions based on uploaded images. This advancement has the potential to transform how surgical teams utilize radiographic data, as radiological interpretation is crucial for surgical planning and postoperative care. However, a comprehensive evaluation of ChatGPT-4V's capabilities in interpret radiological images and formulating treatment plans remains to be explored.
