Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Although deep learning-based intelligent diagnosis of bladder cancer has achieved excellent performance, the reliability of neural network predicted results may not be evaluated. This study aims to explore a trustworthy AI-based tumor segmentation model, which not only outputs predicted results but also provides confidence information about the predictions.
