Persistence landscapes: Charting a path to unbiased radiological interpretation.

Published Date:

Abstract

Persistence landscapes, a sophisticated tool from topological data analysis, offer a promising approach to address biases in radiological interpretation and AI model development. By transforming complex topological features into statistically analyzable functions, they enable robust comparisons between populations and datasets. Persistence landscapes excel in noise filtration, fusion bias mitigation, and enhancing machine learning models. Despite challenges in computation and integration, they show potential to improve the accuracy and equity of radiological analysis, particularly in multi-modal imaging and AI-assisted interpretation.
