Python SDK Examples

Basic Prediction

from pulmoscan.inference.inference_core import load_model, predict_from_pil
from PIL import Image
import torch

# Load model
device = torch.device("cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")
model, device = load_model("saved_models/tbnet_model_best.pth", device)

# Make prediction
image = Image.open("xray.jpg")

import torch

# Load model
device = torch.device("cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")
model, device = load_model("saved_models/tbnet_model_best.pth", device)

🧠 Model Architecture

TBNet Overview

PulmoScan uses the TB-Net architecture, a lightweight convolutional neural network optimized for chest X-ray analysis:

Input (224×224×3)
    ↓
Conv2D(32) + BatchNorm + ReLU + MaxPool → 112×112
    ↓
Conv2D(64) + BatchNorm + ReLU + MaxPool → 56×56
    ↓
Conv2D(128) + BatchNorm + ReLU + MaxPool → 28×28
    ↓
Flatten → 128×28×28 = 100,352
    ↓
FC(256) + ReLU
    ↓
FC(1) → Sigmoid → TB Probability

Key Features:

• 3 Convolutional Blocks: Progressive feature extraction
• Batch Normalization: Stable training and faster convergence
• Global Max Pooling: Spatial dimension reduction
• Binary Classification: Single sigmoid output for TB presence

Severity Scoring

Severity score uses a scaled sigmoid transformation:

severity_score = sigmoid(logit × 2.0)

Categories:
- Mild:     < 0.33
- Moderate: 0.33 - 0.66
- Severe:   > 0.66

GradCAM Visualization

Class Activation Mapping (GradCAM) highlights regions contributing to the prediction:

1. Extract activations from last convolutional layer (conv3)
2. Compute gradients of prediction w.r.t. activations
3. Global average pooling of gradients → weights
4. Weighted combination of activation maps
5. ReLU + normalization → heatmap overlay

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. CUDA Out of Memory

# Reduce batch size in training
--batch_size 8

# Or use CPU
device = torch.device("cpu")

2. Model Loading Error

# Check model path exists
assert Path("saved_models/tbnet_model_best.pth").exists()

# Verify checkpoint format
checkpoint = torch.load(model_path, map_location="cpu")
print(checkpoint.keys())

3. Frontend Not Loading

# Verify frontend directory structure
ls frontend/
# Should contain: index.html, style.css, script.js

# Check server logs
python main.py --log-level debug
