Journal: Journal of medical Internet research
PMID: 40245397

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Effective physician-patient communication is essential in clinical practice, especially in oncology, where radiology reports play a crucial role. These reports are often filled with technical jargon, making them challenging for patients to understand and affecting their engagement and decision-making. Large language models, such as GPT-4, offer a novel approach to simplifying these reports and potentially enhancing communication and patient outcomes.
