Abstract summary: Artificial intelligence (AI) systems have substantially improved dermatologists' diagnostic accuracy for melanoma. Despite these advancements, there remains a critical need for objective evaluation of how dermatologists engage with both AI and XAI tools. In this study, 76 dermatologists participated in a reader study, diagnosing 16 dermoscopic images of melanomas and nevi using an XAI system that provides detailed, domain-specific explanations.

Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) systems have substantially improved dermatologists' diagnostic accuracy for melanoma, with explainable AI (XAI) systems further enhancing clinicians' confidence and trust in AI-driven decisions. Despite these advancements, there remains a critical need for objective evaluation of how dermatologists engage with both AI and XAI tools. In this study, 76 dermatologists participated in a reader study, diagnosing 16 dermoscopic images of melanomas and nevi using an XAI system that provides detailed, domain-specific explanations. Eye-tracking technology was employed to assess their interactions. Diagnostic performance was compared with that of a standard AI system lacking explanatory features. Our findings reveal that XAI systems improved balanced diagnostic accuracy by 2.8 percentage points relative to standard AI. Moreover, diagnostic disagreements with AI/XAI systems and complex lesions were associated with elevated cognitive load, as evidenced by increased ocular fixations. These insights have significant implications for clinical practice, the design of AI tools for visual tasks, and the broader development of XAI in medical diagnostics.

The Limits of Perception: Analyzing Inconsistencies in Saliency Maps in XAI [0.0]
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.

Dermatologist-like explainable AI enhances trust and confidence in diagnosing melanoma [0.0]
A lack of transparency in how artificial intelligence systems identify melanoma poses severe obstacles to user acceptance. Most XAI methods are unable to produce precisely located domain-specific explanations, making the explanations difficult to interpret. We developed an XAI system that produces text and region based explanations that are easily interpretable by dermatologists.

Towards the Use of Saliency Maps for Explaining Low-Quality Electrocardiograms to End Users [45.62380752173638]
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.
