Pneumothorax Detection System in Thoracic Radiography Images Using CNN Method

Abstrak

Purpose: This research aims to develop an automatic pneumothorax detection system using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to classify thoracic radiography images. By leveraging CNN's effectiveness in identifying medical abnormalities, the system seeks to enhance diagnostic accuracy, reduce evaluation time, and minimize subjective interpretation errors. The output will provide a predicted label of "pneumothorax" or "non-pneumothorax," facilitating faster clinical treatment and improving diagnostic services while supporting radiologists in making more accurate and efficient decisions for this critical condition. Methods: This research employs an experimental deep learning approach using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to detect pneumothorax in thoracic radiography images. The CNN model is trained on an annotated dataset with preprocessing steps, including zooming, brightness adjustment, flipping and format adjustment, followed by performance evaluation using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score metrics. Result: The results showed that the CNN model detected pneumothorax with 79.59% accuracy, a loss of 1.3056, and 1,092 correct predictions out of 1,372 test data. Precision was 51.12%, recall 78.62%, and F1 score 61.96%, confirming the system's potential, though further optimization is needed. Novelty: The novelty of this research lies in developing an automated pneumothorax detection system using a CNN architecture, improving diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. Despite high accuracy, precision and recall can be improved. Future research can focus on optimizing the model and applying data augmentation techniques.
