Objective:

To summarize current developments in Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) applied to ultrasound imaging for breast cancer diagnosis and identify significant obstacles.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • Deep learning methods have significantly improved the automation of breast cancer detection and classification in ultrasound imaging.
    • The black-box nature of deep learning models poses challenges for clinical acceptance and reliability.
    • XAI methods like Grad-CAM, LIME, and SHAP can enhance the interpretability of these models.
    Interpretation:

    Limitations:
    • Lack of standardized evaluation metrics for XAI methods.
    • Limited clinical validation of XAI approaches.
    • Difficulty in interpreting explanations in noisy imaging conditions.
    Conclusion:
