Abstract
Despite recent medical advancements, breast cancer remains one of the most prevalent and deadly diseases among women. Although machine learning-based Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems have shown potential to assist radiologists in analyzing medical images, the opaque nature of the best-performing CAD systems has raised concerns about their trustworthiness and interpretability. This paper proposes MT-BI-RADS, a novel explainable deep learning approach for tumor detection in Breast Ultrasound (BUS) images. The approach offers three levels of explanations to enable radiologists to comprehend the decision-making process in predicting tumor malignancy. Firstly, the proposed model outputs the BI-RADS categories used for BUS image analysis by radiologists. Secondly, the model employs multitask learning to concurrently segment regions in images that correspond to tumors. Thirdly, the proposed approach outputs quantified contributions of each BI-RADS descriptor toward predicting the benign or malignant class using post-hoc explanations with Shapley Values.
