In medical image analysis, it is desirable to decipher the black-box nature of Deep Learning models in order to build confidence in clinicians while using such methods. Interpretability techniques can help understand the model’s reasonings, e.g. by showcasing the anatomical areas the network focuses on. While most of the available interpretability techniques work with classification models, this work presents various interpretability techniques for segmentation models and shows experiments on a vessel segmentation model. In particular, we focus on input attributions and layer attribution methods which give insights on the critical features of the image identified by the model.
