• Abstract: Recent applications of deep convolutional neural networks in medical imaging raise concerns about their interpretability. While most explainable deep learning applications use post hoc methods (such as GradCAM) to generate feature attribution maps, there is a new type of case-based reasoning models, namely ProtoPNet and its variants, which identify prototypes during training and compare input image patches with those prototypes. We propose the first medical prototype network (MProtoNet) to extend ProtoPNet to brain tumor classification with 3D multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) data. To address different requirements between 2D natural images and 3D mpMRIs especially in terms of localizing attention regions, a new attention module with soft masking and online-CAM loss is introduced. Soft masking helps sharpen attention maps, while online-CAM loss directly utilizes image-level labels when training the attention module. MProtoNet achieves statistically significant improvements in interpretability metrics of both correctness and localization coherence (with a best activation precision of $0.713\pm0.058$) without human-annotated labels during training, when compared with GradCAM and several ProtoPNet variants.

  ToNNO is based on the Tomographic reconstruction of a Neural Network's Output. It extracts stacks of slices with different angles from the input 3D volume, feeds these slices to a 2D encoder, and applies the inverse Radon transform in order to reconstruct a 3D heatmap of the encoder's predictions. We apply it to weakly supervised medical image segmentation by training the 2D encoder to output high values for slices containing the regions of interest.

  We propose to process the 3D data by a 2+1D framework so that we can exploit the powerful deep 2D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) networks pre-trained on the huge ImageNet dataset for 3D neuroimaging recognition. Specifically, 3D volumes of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) metrics are decomposed to 2D slices according to neighboring voxel positions. Global pooling is applied to remove redundant information as the activation patterns are sparsely distributed over feature maps. Channel-wise and slice-wise convolutions are proposed to aggregate the contextual information in the third dimension unprocessed by the 2D CNN model.
