• Abstract: Fetal standard scan plane detection during 2-D mid-pregnancy examinations is a highly complex task, which requires extensive medical knowledge and years of training. Although deep neural networks (DNN) can assist inexperienced operators in these tasks, their lack of transparency and interpretability limit their application. Despite some researchers have been committed to visualizing the decision process of DNN, most of them only focus on the pixel-level features and do not take into account the medical prior knowledge. In this work, we propose an interpretable framework based on key medical concepts, which provides explanations from the perspective of clinicians' cognition. Moreover, we utilize a concept-based graph convolutional neural(GCN) network to construct the relationships between key medical concepts. Extensive experimental analysis on a private dataset has shown that the proposed method provides easy-to-understand insights about reasoning results for clinicians.

  We propose the Lesion Concept Explainer (LCE) framework, which combines attribution methods with concept-based methods. The proposed framework is evaluated in terms of both faithfulness and understandability. Our evaluation of public and private breast ultrasound datasets shows that LCE performs well compared to commonly-used explainability methods.

  Deep neural networks have shown same or better performance than clinicians in many tasks. Current deep neural solutions are referred to as black-boxes due to a lack of understanding of the specifics concerning the decision making process. There is a need to ensure interpretability of deep neural networks before they can be incorporated in the routine clinical workflow.

  Clinical decision support using deep neural networks has become a topic of steadily growing interest. clinicians are often hesitant to adopt the technology because its underlying decision-making process is considered to be intransparent and difficult to comprehend. We propose a novel decision explanation scheme based on CycleGAN activation which generates high-quality visualizations of classifier decisions even in smaller data sets.
