Summary
ChatGPT poses a risk to academic integrity in nuclear medicine education. While it struggles with complex calculations and advanced topics, its potential for enhancing learning is limited by higher-order thinking skill development.
Area of Science:
- Medical Imaging and Diagnostics
- Radiological Sciences
- Nuclear Medicine Technology
Background:
- Artificial intelligence (AI) tools, such as ChatGPT, present new challenges to academic integrity in higher education.
- The GPT 3.5-powered ChatGPT chatbot has become a significant concern for academic and scientific writing.
- Nuclear medicine training programs are particularly vulnerable to AI-driven academic dishonesty.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the performance of ChatGPT on nuclear medicine examinations and written assignments.
- To assess the threat posed by ChatGPT to academic integrity in nuclear medicine education.
- To compare ChatGPT's performance with that of nuclear medicine students.
Main Methods:
- ChatGPT was tested on a variety of nuclear medicine course materials, including long-answer and calculation-based examinations, and authentic writing tasks.
- ChatGPT responses were analyzed using Turnitin plagiarism-detection software for similarity and AI scores.
- Performance was scored against standardized rubrics and compared with average student cohort performance.
Main Results:
- ChatGPT demonstrated poor performance in calculation-based examinations (31.7% vs. 67.3% for students), especially in complex questions.
- ChatGPT failed all 6 written tasks (38.9% vs. 67.2% for students), with performance declining on more advanced assignments.
- While ChatGPT outperformed students in some general subjects, it performed poorly in advanced and specialized nuclear medicine topics (51% vs. 57.4% for students).
Conclusions:
- ChatGPT presents a risk to academic integrity but can be limited as a cheating tool through higher-order thinking assessments.
- The limitations of ChatGPT in higher-order learning also restrict its potential for educational enhancement.
- Further exploration is needed for potential applications of ChatGPT in teaching nuclear medicine.

4.3K
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body...

Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
