🧠 Understanding AI Confidence Values

📊 Prediction Confidence Explained

The confidence values in MediScan represent the AI model's certainty in its diagnostic prediction:

Confidence Range Interpretation Clinical Action
90-100% Very High Confidence High priority for clinical review
80-89% High Confidence Standard clinical verification recommended
70-79% Moderate Confidence Additional clinical correlation advised
60-69% Low Confidence Further imaging or consultation suggested
<60% Very Low Confidence Repeat imaging or alternative methods recommended

🔢 Confidence Calculation Method

The AI model outputs a probability score between 0 and 1:

  • Values → 1: Higher likelihood of pneumonia
  • Values → 0: Higher likelihood of normal findings

Display Logic:

  • PNEUMONIA Prediction: confidence = raw_prediction × 100%
  • NORMAL Prediction: confidence = (1 - raw_prediction) × 100%

This ensures the displayed confidence always reflects certainty in the shown diagnosis.

📈 Clinical Interpretation Guidelines

For PNEUMONIA Predictions:

  • 🔴 >85% Confidence: Strong indication for immediate clinical attention
  • 🟡 70-85% Confidence: Moderate suspicion, correlate with clinical symptoms
  • 🟢 <70% Confidence: Low suspicion, consider additional imaging

For NORMAL Predictions:

  • 🟢 >90% Confidence: Low likelihood of pneumonia
  • 🟡 80-90% Confidence: Generally normal, routine follow-up
  • 🔴 <80% Confidence: Consider repeat imaging or further evaluation
