    Introduction of an Integrated Pathology Image Management, Artificial Intelligence, and Reporting System

    Published on: July 11, 2025

  • Statistical analysis was performed to compare the accuracy of different AI models.

    • Main Results:

    • Overall accuracy in identifying plastic surgeons was 94.1% across 1000 results.
    • Gemini demonstrated the highest accuracy, followed by Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Claude, with statistically significant differences.
    • The majority of misidentified professionals were otolaryngologists and general surgeons, with no significant difference in error types among AI models.

    Conclusions:

    • AI tools show promise in assisting patients to find board-certified plastic surgeons amidst a growing aesthetic market.
    • Despite high accuracy, AI tools have potential for errors, necessitating independent verification by patients.
    • Ensuring patients can make informed decisions requires reliable tools and patient diligence.
