The proposed framework, Tumor Aware Counterfactual Explanations (TACE), aims to provide reliable and trustworthy counterfactual explanations for medical images. This deep learning-based approach focuses on modifying tumor-specific features while preserving the overall organ structure, ensuring faithfulness in the generated explanations. By including an additional step in the generation process that allows modification of only the region of interest (ROI), TACE outperforms existing state-of-the-art techniques in terms of quality, faithfulness, and generation speed. The improved explanations lead to significant improvements in classification success rates, with a 10.69% increase for breast cancer and a 98.02% increase for brain tumors.

Tumor Aware Counterfactual Explanations (TACE) is a new way to understand how artificial intelligence (AI) makes decisions about medical images. Medical AI has become very good at diagnosing problems, but it’s hard to know why it made that diagnosis. This can be a problem in hospitals where doctors need to trust the AI’s decision. TACE helps by making AI explanations more reliable and trustworthy. It works by changing just the parts of the image related to the tumor, while leaving everything else the same. This makes the explanation much better and leads to big improvements in how well the AI can diagnose certain types of cancer.
