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 |
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.
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
MediScan follows a modern, scalable architecture with clear separation of concerns:
