Artificial intelligence (AI) with deep learning models has been widely applied in numerous domains, including medical imaging and healthcare tasks. In the medical field, any judgment or decision is fraught with risk. A doctor will carefully judge whether a patient is sick before forming a reasonable explanation based on the patient’s symptoms and/or an examination. Therefore, to be a viable and accepted tool, AI needs to mimic human judgment and interpretation skills. Specifically, explainable AI (XAI) aims to explain the information behind the black-box model of deep learning that reveals how the decisions are made. This paper provides a survey of the most recent XAI techniques used in healthcare and related medical imaging applications. We summarize and categorize the XAI types, and highlight the algorithms used to increase interpretability in medical imaging topics. In addition, we focus on the challenging XAI problems in medical applications and provide guidelines to develop better interpretations of deep learning models using XAI concepts in medical image and text analysis. Furthermore, this survey provides future directions to guide developers and researchers for future prospective investigations on clinical topics, particularly on applications with medical imaging.

Survey of Explainable AI Techniques in Healthcare

The high-throughput extraction of quantitative imaging features from medical images for the purpose of radiomic analysis, i.e., radiomics in a broad sense, is a rapidly developing and emerging research field that has been attracting increasing interest, particularly in multimodality and multi-omics studies. In this context, the quantitative analysis of multidimensional data plays an essential role in assessing the spatio-temporal characteristics of different tissues and organs and their microenvironment. Herein, recent developments in this method, including manually defined features, data acquisition and preprocessing, lesion segmentation, feature extraction, feature selection and dimension reduction, statistical analysis, and model construction, are reviewed. In addition, deep learning-based techniques for automatic segmentation and radiomic analysis are being analyzed to address limitations such as rigorous workflow, manual/semi-automatic lesion annotation, and inadequate feature criteria, and multicenter validation. Furthermore, a summary of the current state-of-the-art applications of this technology in disease diagnosis, treatment response, and prognosis prediction from the perspective of radiology images, multimodality images, histopathology images, and three-dimensional dose distribution data, particularly in oncology, is presented. The potential and value of radiomics in diagnostic and therapeutic strategies are also further analyzed, and for the first time, the advances and challenges associated with dosiomics in radiotherapy are summarized, highlighting the latest progress in radiomics. Finally, a robust framework for radiomic analysis is presented and challenges and recommendations for future development are discussed, including but not limited to the factors that affect model stability (medical big data and multitype data and expert knowledge in medical), limitations of data-driven processes (reproducibility and interpretability of studies, different treatment alternatives for various institutions, and prospective researches and clinical trials), and thoughts on future directions (the capability to achieve clinical applications and open platform for radiomics analysis).

Deep Learning With Radiomics for Disease Diagnosis and Treatment: Challenges and Potential

Simple Summary Recently, radiogenomics has played a significant role and offered a new understanding of cancer’s biology and behavior in response to standard therapy. It also provides a more precise prognosis, investigation, and analysis of the patient’s cancer. Over the years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has provided a significant strength in radiogenomics. In this paper, we offer computational and oncological prospects of the role of AI in radiogenomics, as well as its offers, achievements, opportunities, and limitations in the current clinical practices. Abstract Radiogenomics, a combination of “Radiomics” and “Genomics,” using Artificial Intelligence (AI) has recently emerged as the state-of-the-art science in precision medicine, especially in oncology care. Radiogenomics syndicates large-scale quantifiable data extracted from radiological medical images enveloped with personalized genomic phenotypes. It fabricates a prediction model through various AI methods to stratify the risk of patients, monitor therapeutic approaches, and assess clinical outcomes. It has recently shown tremendous achievements in prognosis, treatment planning, survival prediction, heterogeneity analysis, reoccurrence, and progression-free survival for human cancer study. Although AI has shown immense performance in oncology care in various clinical aspects, it has several challenges and limitations. The proposed review provides an overview of radiogenomics with the viewpoints on the role of AI in terms of its promises for computational as well as oncological aspects and offers achievements and opportunities in the era of precision medicine. The review also presents various recommendations to diminish these obstacles.

Role of Artificial Intelligence in Radiogenomics for Cancers in the Era of Precision Medicine

The accurate prediction of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation and glioma segmentation are important tasks for computer-aided diagnosis using preoperative multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The two tasks are ongoing challenges due to the significant inter-tumor and intra-tumor heterogeneity. The existing methods to address them are mostly based on single-task approaches without considering the correlation between the two tasks. In addition, the acquisition of IDH genetic labels is expensive and costly, resulting in a limited number of IDH mutation data for modeling. To comprehensively address these problems, we propose a fully automated multimodal MRI-based multi-task learning framework for simultaneous glioma segmentation and IDH genotyping. Specifically, the task correlation and heterogeneity are tackled with a hybrid CNN-Transformer encoder that consists of a convolutional neural network and a transformer to extract the shared spatial and global information learned from a decoder for glioma segmentation and a multi-scale classifier for IDH genotyping. Then, a multi-task learning loss is designed to balance the two tasks by combining the segmentation and classification loss functions with uncertain weights. Finally, an uncertainty-aware pseudo-label selection is proposed to generate IDH pseudo-labels from larger unlabeled data for improving the accuracy of IDH genotyping by using semi-supervised learning. We evaluate our method on a multi-institutional public dataset. Experimental results show that our proposed multi-task network achieves promising performance and outperforms the single-task learning counterparts and other existing state-of-the-art methods. With the introduction of unlabeled data, the semi-supervised multi-task learning framework further improves the performance of glioma segmentation and IDH genotyping. The source codes of our framework are publicly available at https://github.com/miacsu/MTTU-Net.git.

A Fully Automated Multimodal MRI-Based Multi-Task Learning for Glioma Segmentation and IDH Genotyping

Simple Summary Radiogenomics is a relatively new advancement in the understanding of the biology and behaviour of cancer in response to conventional treatments. One of the most terrible types of cancer, brain cancer, must be targeted in light of the current advancements in therapies. Even though several recent studies on brain cancer have shown promising outcomes when employing the radiogenomics concept, a cutting-edge review of research has been required. In this research review, we provide a 360-degree aspect of brain tumor diagnosis and prognosis employing the new era technology of radiogenomics. The review provides information to the reader about the various aspects that should be considered as accomplishments, opportunities, and limitations in the current therapeutic procedures. Abstract Brain tumor characterization (BTC) is the process of knowing the underlying cause of brain tumors and their characteristics through various approaches such as tumor segmentation, classification, detection, and risk analysis. The substantial brain tumor characterization includes the identification of the molecular signature of various useful genomes whose alteration causes the brain tumor. The radiomics approach uses the radiological image for disease characterization by extracting quantitative radiomics features in the artificial intelligence (AI) environment. However, when considering a higher level of disease characteristics such as genetic information and mutation status, the combined study of “radiomics and genomics” has been considered under the umbrella of “radiogenomics”. Furthermore, AI in a radiogenomics’ environment offers benefits/advantages such as the finalized outcome of personalized treatment and individualized medicine. The proposed study summarizes the brain tumor’s characterization in the prospect of an emerging field of research, i.e., radiomics and radiogenomics in an AI environment, with the help of statistical observation and risk-of-bias (RoB) analysis. The PRISMA search approach was used to find 121 relevant studies for the proposed review using IEEE, Google Scholar, PubMed, MDPI, and Scopus. Our findings indicate that both radiomics and radiogenomics have been successfully applied aggressively to several oncology applications with numerous advantages. Furthermore, under the AI paradigm, both the conventional and deep radiomics features have made an impact on the favorable outcomes of the radiogenomics approach of BTC. Furthermore, risk-of-bias (RoB) analysis offers a better understanding of the architectures with stronger benefits of AI by providing the bias involved in them.

Brain Tumor Characterization Using Radiogenomics in Artificial Intelligence Framework

The natural history and treatment landscape of primary brain tumours are complicated by the varied tumour behaviour of primary or secondary gliomas (high-grade transformation of low-grade lesions), as well as the dilemmas with identification of radiation necrosis, tumour progression, and pseudoprogression on MRI. Radiomics and radiogenomics promise to offer precise diagnosis, predict prognosis, and assess tumour response to modern chemotherapy/immunotherapy and radiation therapy. This is achieved by a triumvirate of morphological, textural, and functional signatures, derived from a high-throughput extraction of quantitative voxel-level MR image metrics. However, the lack of standardisation of acquisition parameters and inconsistent methodology between working groups have made validations unreliable, hence multi-centre studies involving heterogenous study populations are warranted. We elucidate novel radiomic and radiogenomic workflow concepts and state-of-the-art descriptors in sub-visual MR image processing, with relevant literature on applications of such machine learning techniques in glioma management.
