GPT-o1 simplifies and translates emergency radiology reports effectively for limited English proficiency (LEP) patients. This large language model shows promise in improving health literacy for diverse populations.
Area of Science:
- Medical Informatics
- Natural Language Processing
- Health Communication
Background:
- Radiology reports contain complex medical jargon.
- Limited English proficiency (LEP) patients face comprehension barriers.
- Need for patient-friendly, multilingual report interpretation exists.
Purpose of the Study:
- Evaluate GPT-o1 for simplifying emergency radiology reports.
- Assess GPT-o1's translation accuracy into Spanish, Arabic, and Mandarin.
- Compare GPT-o1 performance against Google Translate.
Main Methods:
- Selected 30 de-identified emergency radiology reports.
- Radiologists evaluated GPT-o1 simplified reports (Phase 1).
- Medical interpreters assessed GPT-o1 and Google Translate outputs (Phase 2).
- Used a 5-point Likert scale for ratings.
Main Results:
- 76.9% of reports rated 'Extremely/Very accurate'.
- 45.6% rated 'Very Clear'; 98.9% rated 'useful'.
- GPT-o1 significantly outperformed Google Translate in accuracy and comprehensibility (p < .001).
Conclusions:
- GPT-o1 generates high-quality, simplified, and translated radiology reports.
- Findings suggest large language models (LLMs) can enhance health literacy for LEP patients.
- Further validation is required prior to clinical integration.

Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
