AI takes on ultrasound: can ChatGPT and gemini match expert anesthesiologists?

NCT ID NCT07261436

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares two AI models, Gemini 2.5 Pro and ChatGPT-5.1, against expert anesthesiologists in interpreting ultrasound videos of a pain-block procedure called TAP block. Forty adults having surgery will have their routine TAP block recorded, and the AI will analyze the videos to identify anatomy and assess success. No extra procedures are needed for participants. The goal is to see if AI can reliably support clinicians in ultrasound-guided anesthesia.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Artificial intelligence models (Gemini 2.5 Pro and ChatGPT-5.1) analyzing ultrasound videos
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that AI can help doctors interpret ultrasound images for nerve blocks, potentially improving training and decision-making in anesthesia.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 40 participants. The AI models may not perform as well as experts, and results may not apply to other types of ultrasound or medical settings.
