Transforming Complex Jargon into Clear Language
Both AI chatbots significantly improved the readability of MRI reports. The original reports had a median Flesch-Kincaid Reading Ease (FRE) score of 27.90, a Grade Level of 11.80, and a Gunning Fog Score of 14.30. Chatbot 1 (GPT 01-preview) raised the FRE to 46.00, lowered the Grade Level to 9.60, and the GFS to 11.70. Chatbot 2 (Deepseek-R1) demonstrated superior simplification, achieving an impressive FRE of 58.70, a Grade Level of 7.40, and a GFS of 9.60. This represents a substantial shift towards patient-friendly communication, making complex medical information accessible to a broader audience.
Precision in Diagnosis and Treatment Planning
AI chatbots exhibit remarkable capabilities in medical classification tasks. For tumor classification, Chatbot 2 achieved 92.05% accuracy, outperforming Chatbot 1's 89.03%. In assessing surgical necessity, Chatbot 2 maintained its lead with 95.12% accuracy compared to Chatbot 1's 84.73%. Furthermore, Chatbot 2's treatment recommendations were found to be 98.10% clinically relevant, significantly higher than Chatbot 1's acceptable rate of 75.41%. This indicates that AI can not only translate but also provide actionable, clinically sound guidance, streamlining the preliminary stages of patient care.
Navigating Empathy and Mitigating Hallucinations
Both chatbots demonstrated high levels of empathy, with identical median scores of 4.00 (1.00) on a Likert scale. However, critical differences emerged in error rates. Chatbot 1 had 2.17% incorrect and 1.73% hallucinatory instances, while Chatbot 2 drastically reduced these to 0.42% incorrect and 0.18% hallucinatory instances. Common errors included misinterpreting medical terminology like "heterogeneous enhancement" or "invasion," and occasional "hallucinations" – erroneous introductions of causal relationships. The study underscores the importance of refining AI models to minimize these critical errors, especially in sensitive clinical contexts, while maintaining empathetic communication.

Case Study: AI Bridging the Medical Communication Gap
A patient received an MRI report detailing a "heterogeneous enhancement within the left frontal lobe, suggestive of a glioblastoma multiforme, with evidence of peritumoral edema and midline shift." Faced with complex medical jargon, the patient used an AI chatbot. The chatbot accurately explained that "heterogeneous enhancement" refers to uneven signal intensity often seen in aggressive tumors, and "glioblastoma multiforme" is a high-grade malignant brain tumor. It clarified "peritumoral edema" as swelling around the tumor and "midline shift" as pressure on the brain's central structures, indicating severity. The chatbot also confirmed the necessity for immediate surgical consultation and outlined potential follow-up treatments in patient-friendly terms, all while recommending professional medical advice. This exemplifies how AI can empower patients with understandable information, significantly reducing anxiety and facilitating informed discussions with their physicians.
