National Institutes of Health (NIH) investigators have found that GPT-4 Vision in its current form is not able to reliably interpret radiologic images, according to research published October 1 in Radiology. Compared to radiologists and residents, GPT-4V performed poorly on RSNA “Case of the Day” questions, although its accuracy did increase when only the textual context from cases was input, noted lead author Pritam Mukherjee, PhD, an NIH staff scientist, and colleagues.
