DEPARTMENT OF DIAGNOSTIC RADIOLOGY
Automated Computer-Aided Detection (CADe) Preliminary Report
STUDY ID: RAD-2026-X842
DATE: October 16, 2026
PATIENT DEMOGRAPHICS & CLINICAL INDICATION

Patient ID: PT-910482  |  Age: 42  |  Sex: Female  |  Modality: Digital Radiography (PA View)
Indication: Acute fever (38.9°C), productive purulent cough, and pleuritic right-sided chest discomfort. Evaluate for acute infectious consolidation.

COMPUTER-AIDED DETECTION (CADe) FINDINGS

Lungs: Increased focal radiographic density in the right lower pulmonary zone compatible with lobar airspace opacity. Air bronchograms visible within the opacity. Left lung field is clear without evidence of infiltrates or effusion.
Pleura: Costophrenic sulci and cardiophrenic angles are sharp bilaterally without pleural fluid accumulation.
Cardiomediastinal Silhouette: Cardiac size and mediastinal contours are within standard physiological limits.
Grad-CAM Spatial Focus: Maximum gradient activation localized over the right basilar segment (activation peak = 0.998).

AI IMPRESSION & TRIAGE RECOMMENDATION

1. Findings consistent with ACUTE BACTERIAL PNEUMONIA involving the right lower lobe.
2. High diagnostic probability (99.8%). Recommended priority category: STAT clinical review.
3. Correlation with laboratory inflammatory markers (WBC, CRP, procalcitonin) and empirical antibiotic protocol initiation suggested.

Engineering Design

Modular Deep Learning Pipeline

Clean, reproducible architecture built with Keras 3 and OpenCV. Engineered specifically for clinical explainability and rapid turnaround on edge compute.

STAGE 01
🔍

CLAHE Preprocessing

Converts raw input to 128×128 grayscale and applies Contrast-Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization to accentuate faint ground-glass and interstitial opacities.

Input: (128, 128, 1) · uint8 -> [0, 255] float
STAGE 02
⚡

Convolutional Blocks

Four cascading blocks: Conv2D (32, 64, 128, 128 filters) with 3×3 kernels, ReLU non-linearities, and 2×2 MaxPooling layers for spatial feature abstraction.

Feature maps: 64×64 -> 32×32 -> 16×16 -> 8×8
STAGE 03
🛡️

GAP & Regularization

Global Average Pooling condenses 128 feature channels directly into a 1D vector, followed by Dense(128) and 50% Dropout to prevent overfitting on clinical phantoms.

No BatchNormalization (zero train/test drift)
STAGE 04
🎯

Grad-CAM Explainability

Extracts gradients of the output prediction with respect to the final convolutional layer (`last_conv`), generating localized heatmaps overlaid onto the original radiograph.

Clinical Interpretability

Why Grad-CAM is Mandatory in Healthcare AI

A high accuracy score is useless if a model is "right for the wrong reasons." Early medical imaging networks famously cheated by learning border artifacts, hospital letterhead markers, or patient position tags rather than pathological lesions.

  • Zero Black Boxes: Shows clinicians exactly which lung regions driven the probability score.
  • Radiologist Trust: Confirms the AI detected genuine consolidation rather than clavicle shadows or rib cages.
  • Diagnostic Safety: Flags spurious edge artifacts before any treatment decision is made.

Clinical Validation

Benchmark Evaluation & Confusion Matrix

In medical diagnostics, missing a diseased patient (False Negative) is catastrophic. That is why our pipeline prioritizes clinical sensitivity and ROC-AUC over simple accuracy.

Clinical Confusion Matrix (Test Set)

Evaluated on 200 independent test set radiographs (100 NORMAL, 100 PNEUMONIA).

Pred: NORMAL Pred: PNEUMONIA
Actual: NORMAL 100True Negative (TN) 0False Positive (FP)
Actual: PNEUMONIA 0False Negative (FN) 100True Positive (TP)
Clinical Takeaway: False Negative Rate = 0.0%. All pneumonia cases were successfully flagged for radiologist review.

Comparative Clinical Metrics

Comparison across model architectures and diagnostic thresholds.

Model Accuracy Recall ROC-AUC Latency
Custom 4-Block CNN 100.0% 100.0% 1.000 11 ms
MobileNetV2 (Transfer) 98.5% 99.0% 0.998 38 ms
Baseline ResNet-50 96.2% 95.5% 0.982 85 ms
Clinical Radiologist Standard ~92% ~94% — 24-48h
* Note: On clean simulation data, models achieve near-perfect metrics. On heterogeneous clinical PACS data (e.g. Kermany Kaggle dataset), performance converges to 88-92%.
