ChatGPT might be able to pass the current benchmark exam for qualification as a radiologist in the U.K., according to a group of musculoskeletal radiologists in Birmingham. The group evaluated ChatGPT’s performance on a two-part test based on a bank of questions resembling the Fellowship of the Royal College of Radiologists (FRCR) exam. The large language model narrowly failed on part one true/false questions yet clearly passed part two single-best answer questions, noted lead author Sisith Ariy

Excellent piece on Prenuvo’s whole body scans by Dr. Dhruv Khullar in The New Yorker: Doctors sometimes use a barnyard analogy to talk about the vast differences between cancers.
