Validation of a deep learning model for classification of pediatric pneumonia in Hong Kong

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: • A deep learning model was developed to screen pediatric chest x-rays for pneumonia. • The model automatically classifies chest x-rays as positive or negative for pneumonia. • Model was validated by comparing its output to classification from trained evaluators. • Model has high accuracy, sensitivity and specificity compared to human interpretation. • Cropping the images improved the model's classification performance.
