Perforator Selection with Computed Tomography Angiography for Unilateral Breast Reconstruction: A Clinical Multicentre Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background and Objectives: Despite CTAs being critical for preoperative planning in autologous breast reconstruction, experienced plastic surgeons may have differing preferences for which side of the abdomen to use for unilateral breast reconstruction. Large language models (LLMs) have the potential to assist medical imaging interpretation. This study compares the perforator selection preferences of experienced plastic surgeons with four popular LLMs based on CTA images for breast reconstruction. Materials and Methods: Six experienced plastic surgeons from Australia, the US, Italy, Denmark, and Argentina reviewed ten CTA images, indicated their preferred side of the abdomen for unilateral breast reconstruction and recommended the type of autologous reconstruction. The LLMs we
