The proposed explainable AI model for detecting and classifying lesions in breast ultrasound images is a deep neural network that features a concept bottleneck layer, predicting known BI-RADS features before making a final cancer classification. This enables radiologists to review predictions and potentially fix errors in real-time by modifying the concept predictions. The model outperforms state-of-the-art lesion detection frameworks with 48.9 average precision on the held-out testing set, and concept intervention increases performance for cancer classification from 0.876 to 0.885 area under the receiver operating characteristic curve.

AI helps radiologists detect breast lesions better by using a special type of AI model that explains its predictions. This makes it easier to review and correct any mistakes. The researchers developed this model on a large set of ultrasound images with expert annotations, and it works better than other similar models. This can help reduce the burden of cancer in regions where mammography is not widely available.
