Large multimodal models show mixed results for medical image PHI detection

Researchers evaluated large multimodal models (LMMs) like GPT-4o and Gemini 2.5 Flash for detecting protected health information (PHI) in medical images. While LMMs showed improved text recognition (lower Word Error Rate) compared to traditional OCR methods, this did not always translate to higher overall PHI detection accuracy. The study found that LMMs were most effective on complex imprint patterns and offered recommendations for selecting and deploying these models in healthcare settings. AI
