Ethical approval was obtained from the Ethics Committee of the Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg (reference number: 172/15). The committee granted a waiver of informed consent because the analysis was performed retrospectively on fully anonymized radiographic data. All data were handled in compliance with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and local data protection standards of the University Hospital Magdeburg. The use of LLM (ChatGPT) was restricted to research purposes under direct clinical supervision. LLM (ChatGPT) is not a certified medical device (e.g., FDA or CE approved), and its outputs were used solely for exploratory analysis within this research framework.
