Objective:

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.
