Automated Trauma Detection by Using Machine Learning
Automated Trauma Detection by Using Machine Learning
Abstract: Imaging techniques are widely used for medical diagnostics. This can sometimes lead to a real bottleneck when
there is a shortage of medical practitioners, and the images must be manually processed. In such a situation, there is a need
to reduce the amount of manual work by automating part of the analysis. In this study, we investigate the potential of a
machine-learning algorithm for trauma detection in medical image processing. A new method called ResNet50V2 was
developed on the trauma dataset to detect trauma disease. We compare the results of the new method analysis with other
state-of-the-art networks. The proposed base model, ResNet50V2, received a score of 99.40%.

Recall
Another critical parameter is called recall, and it refers to
the percentage of input samples that are of a type that the model
can accurately predict. The formula for the recall is as follows:
Recall = T P / (T P+FN)

The f1 score is a statistic utilised to contrast recall and
precision.
F1 Score = 2 * (Precision * Recall) (Precision + Recall)
