• Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) has shown great promise for diagnostic imaging assessments. However, the application of AI to support medical diagnostics in clinical routine comes with many challenges. The algorithms should have high prediction accuracy but also be transparent, understandable and reliable. Thus, explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) is highly relevant for this domain. We present a survey on XAI within digital pathology, a medical imaging sub-discipline with particular characteristics and needs. The review includes several contributions. Firstly, we give a thorough overview of current XAI techniques of potential relevance for deep learning methods in pathology imaging, and categorise them from three different aspects. In doing so, we incorporate uncertainty estimation methods as an integral part of the XAI landscape. We also connect the technical methods to the specific prerequisites in digital pathology and present findings to guide future research efforts. The survey is intended for both technical researchers and medical professionals, one of the objectives being to establish a common ground for cross-disciplinary discussions.

  Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) plays an indispensable role in demystifying the decision-making processes of AI. As they operate as "black boxes," with their reasoning obscured and inaccessible, there's an increased risk of misdiagnosis. This shift towards transparency is not just beneficial -- it's a critical step towards responsible AI integration in healthcare.

  When using medical images for diagnosis, it is important that the images are of high quality. In telemedicine, a common problem is that the quality issue is only flagged once the patient has left the clinic, meaning they must return in order to have the exam redone. This paper reports on the development of an AI system for flagging and explaining low-quality medical images in real-time.
