Evaluating AI proficiency in nuclear cardiology: Large language models take on the board preparation exam.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous studies evaluated the ability of large language models (LLMs) in medical disciplines; however, few have focused on image analysis, and none specifically on cardiovascular imaging or nuclear cardiology. This study assesses four LLMs-GPT-4, GPT-4 Turbo, GPT-4omni (GPT-4o) (Open AI), and Gemini (Google Inc.)-in responding to questions from the 2023 American Society of Nuclear Cardiology Board Preparation Exam, reflecting the scope of the Certification Board of Nuclear Cardiology (CBNC) examination.

Methods

We used 168 questions: 141 text-only and 27 image-based, categorized into four sections mirroring the CBNC exam. Each LLM was presented with the same standardized prompt and applied to each section 30 times to account for stochasticity. Performance over si
