Model confidence, reader expertise affect reader-LLM collaboration
By Amerigo Allegretto
Successful human-LLM collaboration is associated with model confidence and reader expertise in chest imaging.
August 11, 2026
Example cases illustrate the double-edged role of large language model (LLM) rationale quality. (A) A 50-year-old female patient with a palpable anterior chest wall mass (correct diagnosis: solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura). The LLM incorrectly suggested synovial sarcoma but provided a persuasive rationale (quality score: 4 of 5), describing a well-defined nodule at axial contrast-enhanced CT spanning the pleura and intercostal space with heterogeneous strong enhancement. Four of five readers (80%) accepted the incorrect suggestion. FDG = fluorodeoxyglucose. (B) A 61-year-old male patient with diabetes presented with cough, sputum, and dyspnea (correct diagnosis: mucormycosis). The LLM correctly suggested mucormycosis with an excellent rationale (quality score: 5 of 5), integrating the reverse halo sign on serial axial CT images and rapidly progressive cavitary lesions. Three of five readers initially selected incorrect diagnoses; after LLM output, all five selected the correct diagnosis (100% acceptance). Blue and orange reader icons denote high- and low-expertise readers, respectively.
