Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) in deep learning-based medical image analysis

Understand

With an increase in deep learning-based methods, the call for explainability of such methods grows, especially in high-stakes decision making areas such as medical image analysis.

• This survey presents an overview of eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) used in deep learning-based medical image analysis.
• A framework of XAI criteria is introduced to classify deep learning-based medical image analysis methods.
• Papers on XAI techniques in medical image analysis are then surveyed and categorized according to the framework and according to anatomical location.
