Development and expert radiologist validation of a custom pipeline for simplification of oncology radiology reports using large language model
To create and authenticate a bilingual LLM-based instrument that transforms oncology radiology reports into comprehensible English and Hindi for patients, while preserving diagnostic accuracy and emotional nuance.
Approach:
Key Findings:
Average rubric scores for accuracy, language clarity, and readability were 4.77 ± 0.62, 4.78 ± 0.56, and 4.9 ± 0.32, respectively.
Complete core diagnostic information was maintained in all reports.
Readability improved significantly, with Flesch Reading Ease scores increasing from 49.2 to 73.
Empathy expressions in both English and Hindi were deemed appropriate.
Interpretation:
The bilingual AI-powered framework enhances the clarity and comprehensibility of oncology radiology reports.
Limitations:
The study was limited to a single site and specific cancer type, which may affect generalizability.
Potential issues with LLMs such as hallucinations and contextual inaccuracies were acknowledged.
Conclusion:
The tool demonstrates the capability of secure, patient-focused communication aligned with personalized medicine objectives.
