OncoTriage is a clinical decision support system designed to detect and triage lung nodules in chest X-rays with high reliability. Developed solo for the 2026 AMD Hackathon, it addresses the lack of transparency in automated diagnostics by implementing Bayesian Deep Learning. The system utilizes a Bayesian EfficientNet-B4 backbone. By employing MC Dropout, the model generates a predictive distribution rather than a single point estimate, allowing for the calculation of epistemic uncertainty. This effectively quantifies the model's confidence for every detection. In clinical settings, this allows the system to flag low-confidence predictions for priority human review, reducing the risk of false negatives inherent in standard "black-box" AI. In addition to this, in order to handle the intensive computational requirements of Bayesian inference, OncoTriage is optimized for AMD Instinct MI300X instances. Leveraging AMD’s high-bandwidth memory (HBM3) and the ROCm stack, the system achieves the rapid inference times necessary for real-time clinical triage. The environment is fully containerized via Docker, ensuring seamless scalability across high-performance compute clusters. The Mission: OncoTriage represents a shift toward accountable, transparent AI. By bridging the gap between raw computational power and clinical safety, it provides radiologists with a reliable partner in oncological screening—transforming raw data into uncertainty-aware medical intelligence.
