A resident radiologist says he built a small LLM tool to test how much of an oncologist's work a model can do, citing waits of weeks for cancer patients to see oncology after an emergency room scan.

The tool is posted on GitHub with a write-up, according to the post.

Separately, an oncologist describes a research demo on a 4 billion parameter open model that answers plain-language questions about chest CT scans, boxes findings such as lung nodules, and compares two scans to judge growth, shrinkage or stability. The oncologist states the demo is not a medical device and that its sensitivity and specificity have not been tested.
