Data extraction from free-text stroke CT reports using GPT-4o and Llama-3.3-70B: the impact of annotation guidelines

LLMs have utility in data extraction from radiology reports, but the role of annotation guidelines remains underexplored. Data extraction accuracy from stroke CT reports by GPT-4o and Llama-3.3-70B improved when well-defined annotation guidelines were incorporated into the model prompt. Well-defined annotation guidelines can improve the accuracy of LLMs in extracting imaging findings from radiological reports.

Abstract

LLMs have utility in data extraction from radiology reports, but the role of annotation guidelines remains underexplored. Data extraction accuracy from stroke CT reports by GPT-4o and Llama-3.3-70B improved when well-defined annotation guidelines were incorporated into the model prompt. Well-defined annotation guidelines can improve the accuracy of LLMs in extracting imaging findings from radiological reports.
