Abstract

BACKGROUND: The increasing use of Deep Learning (DL) in healthcare has highlighted the critical need for improved transparency and interpretability. While Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) methods provide insights into model predictions, reliability cannot be guaranteed by simply relying on explanations.
