Abstract
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence is playing an increasingly important role in radiology. However, more and more often it is no longer possible to reconstruct decisions, especially in the case of new and powerful methods from the field of deep learning. The resulting models fulfill their function without the users being able to understand the internal processes and are used as so-called black boxes. Especially in sensitive areas such as medicine, the explainability of decisions is of paramount importance in order to verify their correctness and to be able to evaluate alternatives. For this reason, there is active research going on to elucidate these black boxes.
