Explaining 3D Computed Tomography Classifiers with Counterfactuals
Counterfactual explanations in medical imaging are critical for understanding the predictions made by deep learning models. We extend the Latent Shift counterfactual generation method from 2D applications to 3D computed tomography (CT) scans. We address the challenges associated with 3D data, such as limited training samples and high memory demands, by implementing a slice-based approach. This method leverages a 2D encoder trained on CT slices, which are subsequently combined to maintain 3D context. We demonstrate this technique on two models for clinical phenotype prediction and lung segmentation. Our approach is both memory-efficient and effective for generating interpretable counterfactuals in high-resolution 3D medical imaging.
