Application of artificial intelligence chatbots in interpreting magnetic resonance imaging reports: a comparative study.

ABSTRACT: Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots have emerged as promising tools for enhancing medical communication, yet their efficacy in interpreting complex radiological reports remains underexplored. This study evaluates the performance of AI chatbots in translating magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reports into patient-friendly language and providing clinical recommendations. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted on 6174 MRI reports from tumor patients across three hospitals. Two AI chatbots, GPT o1-preview (Chatbot 1) and Deepseek-R1 (Chatbot 2), were tasked with interpreting reports, classifying tumor characteristics, assessing surgical necessity, and suggesting treatments. Readability was measured using Flesch-Kincaid and Gunning Fog metrics, while accuracy was evaluated by medical reviewe
