Description

Liver MRI reports are written in free text, yet research needs each finding sorted into a shared scale called LI-RADS. Mario Matute-González and co-authors built a language model tuned for that sorting in 2024 and tested it on 291 small liver observations. The model read the report wording and assigned each finding its category.

Against a panel's agreed answers, the model agreed at a moderate level and caught the clearest cancer signs with high accuracy. Used as a first reader that flags easy cases, it lifted agreement sharply and cut the workload by about forty-five percent. The authors call it a workable helper for turning messy reports into clean research data. They stress it aids curation rather than replacing doctors.
