• Abstract: We present a novel framework for explainable labeling and interpretation of medical images. Medical images require specialized professionals for interpretation, and are explained (typically) via elaborate textual reports. Different from prior methods that focus on medical report generation from images or vice-versa, we novelly generate congruent image--report pairs employing a cyclic-Generative Adversarial Network (cycleGAN); thereby, the generated report will adequately explain a medical image, while a report-generated image that effectively characterizes the text visually should (sufficiently) resemble the original. The aim of the work is to generate trustworthy and faithful explanations for the outputs of a model diagnosing chest x-ray images by pointing a human user to similar cases in support of a diagnostic decision. Apart from enabling transparent medical image labeling and interpretation, we achieve report and image-based labeling comparable to prior methods, including state-of-the-art performance in some cases as evidenced by experiments on the Indiana Chest X-ray dataset

  We propose a textbfCountertextbfFactual textbfExplanations-based framework (CoFE) for radiology report generation. Counterfactual explanations serve as a potent tool for understanding how decisions made by algorithms can be changed by asking what if'' scenarios. Experiments on two benchmarks demonstrate that leveraging the counterfactual explanations enables CoFE to generate semantically coherent and factually complete reports.

  Visual attribution in medical imaging seeks to make evident the diagnostically-relevant components of a medical image. We here present a novel generative visual attribution technique, one that leverages latent diffusion models in combination with domain-specific large language models. The resulting system also exhibits a range of latent capabilities including zero-shot localized disease induction.

  We propose eye-tracking as an alternative to text reports for medical images. By tracking the gaze of radiologists as they read and diagnose medical images, we can understand their visual attention and clinical reasoning. We introduce the Medical contrastive Gaze Image Pre-training (McGIP) as a plug-and-play module for contrastive learning frameworks.
