Artificial intelligence for image recognition in diagnosing oral and oropharyngeal cancer and leukoplakia.

ABSTRACT: Visual diagnosis is one of the key features of squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity (OSCC) and oropharynx (OPSCC), both subsets of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) with a heterogeneous clinical appearance. Advancements in artificial intelligence led to Image recognition being introduced recently into large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT 4.0. This exploratory study, for the first time, evaluated the application of image recognition by ChatGPT to diagnose squamous cell carcinoma and leukoplakia based on clinical images, with images without any lesion as a control group. A total of 45 clinical images were analyzed, comprising 15 cases each of SCC, leukoplakia, and non-lesion images. ChatGPT 4.0 was tasked with providing the most likely diagnosis based on these image
