04Test

independent test

ResNet-18 fine-tuned on 4,109 labeled frames. Training uses radiologist 1 data and testing uses the entire independent radiologist 2 set.

Accuracy 0.820, macro-AUROC 0.978 and macro-F1 0.732 on the independent 1,334-frame test set.

The test uses data from a second radiologist group. Recall for the portal vein class was 0.091.

Limitations

Scope of this result.

  1. 01

    Recognizes the organ; it does not detect stones, aneurysms or focal lesions.

  2. 02

    Single frame, not the examination sweep.

  3. 03

    Rare classes have unstable estimates and low recall.
