Post-Hoc Explainability of BI-RADS Descriptors in a Multi-task Framework for Breast Cancer Detection and Segmentation
Despite recent medical advancements, breast cancer remains one of the most prevalent and deadly diseases among women. Although machine learning-based Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems have shown potential to assist radiologists in analyzing medical images, the opaque nature of the best-performing CAD systems has raised concerns about their trustworthiness and interpretability. This paper proposes MT-BI-RADS, a novel explainable deep learning approach for tumor detection in Breast Ultrasound (BUS) images. The approach offers three levels of explanations to enable radiologists to comprehend the decision-making process in predicting tumor malignancy. Firstly, the proposed model outputs the BI-RADS categories used for BUS image analysis by radiologists. Secondly, the model employs multi-task learning to concurrently segment regions in images that correspond to tumors. Thirdly, the proposed approach outputs quantified contributions of each BI-RADS descriptor toward predicting the benign or malignant class using post-hoc explanations with Shapley Values.

While state-of-the-art models for breast cancer detection leverage multi-view mammograms for enhanced diagnostic accuracy, they often focus solely on visual mammography data. However, radiologists document valuable lesio…
Breast Cancer DetectionDiagnosticBUSTR: Breast Ultrasound Text Reporting with a Descriptor-Aware Vision-Language Model
Automated radiology report generation (RRG) for breast ultrasound (BUS) is limited by the lack of paired image-report datasets and the risk of hallucinations from large language models. We propose BUSTR, a multitask visi…
GRADSTOP: Early Stopping of Gradient Descent via Posterior Sampling
Machine learning models are often learned by minimising a loss function on the training data using a gradient descent algorithm. These models often suffer from overfitting, leading to a decline in predictive performance …
