Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Detecting intracranial hemorrhage promptly and accurately is vital for ensuring optimal patient outcomes, especially in areas with limited access to radiologists. This paper introduces an automated method employing advanced convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to identify intracranial hemorrhage from Computed Tomography (CT) scans. The methodology involves comprehensive preprocessing techniques tailored for CT scan analysis. Subsequently, we systematically evaluate various CNN models, including DenseNet, ResNext101, and EfficientNet. Remarkably, InceptionNet emerges as the most proficient model, achieving an accuracy rate of 84.03%. Our optimized DenseNet model demonstrates exceptional performance in accurately detecting intracranial hemorrhage and categorizing its subtype. By leveraging state-of-the-art machine learning techniques, our method facilitates swift and precise identification of hemorrhagic conditions from CT scans, empowering healthcare professionals to make informed decisions and provide timely interventions. This advancement holds significant promise for improving patient care, particularly in underserved regions where radiologist shortages persist.
