OBJECT: The purpose of this study was to explore a machine learning-based residual networks (ResNets) model to detect atrial septal defect (ASD) on chest radiographs. METHODS: This retrospective study included chest radiographs consecutively collected at our hospital from June 2017 to May 2022. Qualified chest radiographs were obtained from patients who had finished echocardiography. These chest radiographs were labeled as positive or negative for ASD based on the echocardiographic reports and were divided into training, validation, and test dataset. Six ResNets models were employed to examine and compare by using the training dataset and was tuned using the validation dataset. The area under the curve, recall, precision and F1-score were taken as the evaluation metrics for classification result in the test dataset. Visualizing regions of interest for the ResNets models using heat maps. RESULTS: This study included a total of 2105 chest radiographs of children with ASD (mean age 4.14 ± 2.73 years, 54% male), patients were randomly assigned to training, validation, and test dataset with an 8:1:1 ratio. Healthy children's images were supplemented to three datasets in a 1:1 ratio with ASD patients. Following the training, ResNet-10t and ResNet-18D have a better estimation performance, with precision, recall, accuracy, F1-score, and the area under the curve being (0.92, 0.93), (0.91, 0.91), (0.90, 0.90), (0.91, 0.91) and (0.97, 0.96), respectively. Compared to ResNet-18D, ResNet-...
