Intelligent diagnosis model for chest X-ray images diseases based on convolutional neural network.

To address misdiagnosis caused by feature coupling in multi-label medical image classification, this study introduces a chest X-ray pathology reasoning method. It combines hierarchical attention convolutional networks with a multi-label decoupling loss function. This method aims to enhance the precise identification of complex lesions. It dynamically captures multi-scale lesion morphological features and integrates lung field partitioning with lesion localization through a dual-path attention mechanism, thereby improving clinical disease prediction accuracy. An adaptive dilated convolution module with 3 × 3 deformable kernels dynamically captures multi-scale lesion features. A channel-space dual-path attention mechanism enables precise feature selection for lung field partitioning and lesion localization. Cross-scale skip connections fuse shallow texture and deep semantic information, enhancing microlesion detection. A KL divergence-constrained contrastive loss function decouples 14 pathological feature representations via orthogonal regularization, effectively resolving multi-label coupling. Experiments on ChestX-ray14 show a weighted F1-score of 0.97, Hamming Loss of 0.086, and AUC values exceeding 0.94 for all pathologies. This study provides a reliable tool for multi-disease collaborative diagnosis.
