Objective:

To develop a new NeuroXAI framework for obtaining 2D and 3D explainable sensitivity maps to assist clinicians in understanding and trusting deep learning algorithms in clinical procedures.

Key Findings:
  • Deep learning techniques, particularly convolutional neural networks, have shown promise in brain tumor segmentation and classification.
  • Explainable AI (XAI) methods are essential for understanding deep learning predictions in sensitive medical applications.
  • Current XAI methods have limitations, primarily focusing on 2D MRI slices rather than 3D applications.
Interpretation:

The need for explainability in deep learning models is critical in medical imaging to ensure trust and compliance with regulations like GDPR.

Limitations:
  • Existing studies primarily focus on 2D MRI slices, lacking comprehensive 3D analysis.
  • Explainability methods may trade off model complexity for performance.
Conclusion:

The NeuroXAI framework aims to bridge the gap in explainability for deep learning models in brain imaging, enhancing clinician trust and understanding.
