RadiologyAI - Chest X-Ray Analysis Model
1. Introduction
RadiologyAI represents a breakthrough in automated chest X-ray analysis. This model has been trained on over 100,000 frontal-view chest radiographs from multiple clinical institutions. It can detect 15 different thoracic pathologies with high accuracy, supporting radiologists in their diagnostic workflow.
The model architecture is based on Vision Transformer (ViT) with specialized attention mechanisms optimized for medical imaging. Key improvements include:
- Multi-label classification capability for detecting concurrent pathologies
- Attention visualization for interpretability in clinical settings
- Calibrated probability outputs for reliable diagnostic confidence scores
RadiologyAI has been validated against expert radiologist consensus and demonstrates performance comparable to fellowship-trained specialists across multiple pathology categories.
