Explainable AI to improve acceptance of convolutional neural networks for automatic classification of dopamine transporter SPECT in the diagnosis of clinically uncertain parkinsonian syndromes.

Purpose: Deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) provide high accuracy for automatic classification of dopamine transporter (DAT) SPECT images. However, CNN are inherently black-box in nature lacking any kind of explanation for their decisions. This limits their acceptance for clinical use. This st...
