Explainability-Driven Multimodal Glioma Segmentation Using a Hybrid CNN-Transformer Architecture and IoU-Based Attribution Analysis
摘要
Medical image segmentation plays a critical role in accurately localizing tumor regions within MRI scans. With the advancement of deep learning techniques, state-of-the-art models have achieved high accuracy in delineating tumor boundaries. However, in the context of medical imaging, it is imperative not only to identify pathological regions but also to provide interpretable justifications for such predictions. In this work, we propose a suite of explainability-driven methodologies tailored for medical image segmentation. Furthermore, we introduce a quantitative approach to evaluate the alignment between model explanations and expert annotations using the Intersection over Union (IoU) metric. Experimental evaluations on standard benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework in achieving both accurate and interpretable segmentation.
