New frontiers in radiologic interpretation: evaluating the effectiveness of large language models in pneumothorax diagnosis
This study, the first to evaluate these three current multimodal LLMs in pneumothorax identification across different age groups, demonstrates promising results for potential clinical applications, particularly for adult patients with large pneumothorax. However, performance limitations in pediatric cases and with small pneumothoraces highlight the need for further validation before clinical implementation.
