Diagnostic Performance of ChatGPT-4o in Detecting Hip Fractures on Pelvic X-rays

ChatGPT-4o shows promising accuracy in identifying hip fractures on pelvic X-rays, especially when fractures are displaced. However, its sensitivity drops significantly for non-displaced fractures, leading to many false negatives. This highlights the need for caution when interpreting negative AI results, particularly when clinical suspicion remains high. While not a replacement for expert assessment, ChatGPT-4o may assist in settings with limited specialist access.

Abstract

ChatGPT-4o shows promising accuracy in identifying hip fractures on pelvic X-rays, especially when fractures are displaced. However, its sensitivity drops significantly for non-displaced fractures, leading to many false negatives. This highlights the need for caution when interpreting negative AI results, particularly when clinical suspicion remains high. While not a replacement for expert assessment, ChatGPT-4o may assist in settings with limited specialist access.
