Enhancing Patient Communication With Chat-GPT in Radiology: Evaluating the Efficacy and Readability of Answers to Common Imaging-Related Questions

ChatGPT demonstrates the potential to respond accurately, consistently, and relevantly to patients' imaging-related questions. However, imperfect accuracy and high complexity necessitate oversight before implementation. Prompts reduced response variability and yielded more-targeted information, but they did not improve readability. ChatGPT has the potential to increase accessibility to health information and streamline the production of patient-facing educational materials; however, its current limitations require cautious implementation and further research.
