1.1 Introduction

Over the course of the last few years, the technology behind artificial intelligence has significantly advanced becoming more complex, self-sufficient, and clever. The rapid expansion of computer power is being driven in large part by the significant increase in the amount of data that are being produced. All of these elements play a significant role in the creation of artificial intelligence. The practical gains that artificial intelligence has made in a range of disciplines, such as speech recognition, self-driving cars, and recommendation systems, have had an impact on the lives of their constituents [1–4]. These advancements have been made possible by numerous advancements in artificial intelligence. The diagnostic work that practitioners do can be improved by artificial intelligence, which can also encourage prevention and provide customized treatment choices on electronic health records (EHRs). This can be accomplished through improving diagnostic work. Artificial intelligence is not widely embraced in the medical profession [7, 8] despite the fact that helpful technologies are utilized in the field of medicine [5, 6]. Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning approaches continue to be challenging to deploy in a variety of applications [9–11]. A explanation of the decision-making process is frequently difficult to convey because of the complexity of the situation. The situation raises questions of both morality and pragmatism. Because there is a lack of experience in the field of artificial intelligence diagnosis, it is impossible to determine whether differences in diagnoses between patients are the consequence of prejudice, errors, or either an under- or overdiagnosis. A number of governmental and commercial groups have lately issued recommendations for the appropriate deployment of artificial intelligence to address these issues. These recommendations were produced to address the challenges. According to the findings of the inquiry, there are significant anomalies in the features of the transparency that is supposed to exist. Artificial intelligence has the potential to solve a wide range of vital medical issues. The research that has been done on computerized prognosis, diagnosis, testing, and therapy formulation [12–14] has been credited with contributing to the recent increase in the number of cases that have been reported. Not only do these sources supply a substantial amount of data, but they also create data from biosensors, medical imaging, and genetic data [15–17]. It is the goal of the field of medicine to implement artificial intelligence to personalize medical decisions, health practices, and drug formulations for each individual patient. In contrast, artificial intelligence in the medical field is currently seen as a positive development despite the fact that there is a lack of proof and demonstration related to it. Nevertheless, numerous algorithms that have exhibited comparable or greater performance than experts in controlled experimental environments have displayed elevated rates of false-positive outcomes in real-world clinical contexts [18]. The detection of wrist fractures, diabetic retinopathy, cancer metastases, histopathological breast, congenital cataracts, and colonic polyps has been conducted by testing of these systems. All of these disorders have undergone testing in actual clinical settings. Furthermore, it is important to note that there are certain shortcomings in terms of trust, fairness, informativeness, transferability, and causality [19]. The presence of prejudice, security concerns, privacy issues, and a lack of transparency is evident. Artificial intelligence possesses the capacity to address a diverse array of substantial issues within the medical domain [3, 20–25]. The integration of several sources of information, including genetic data, biosensors, medical imaging, and electronic medical records, results in the generation of a significant volume of data [18]. To get a precise diagnosis in the domain of precision medicine, healthcare practitioners necessitate a substantial amount of additional information beyond a simple binary prognosis [19, 23]. The medical industry has placed growing importance on explainability, interpretability, and transparency in machine learning [19]. There is substantial data indicating the advantages of machine learning approaches. However, it is highly improbable that these methods will be extensively adopted unless these issues are addressed preferably by offering systems clear justifications for their decisions [24]. Due to this circumstance, the task of devising solutions that possess generalizability and applicability across diverse contexts becomes arduous. For example, it is common for various applications to possess distinct demands for interpretability and explainability [19, 23, 24, 26].

1.2 Literature Review

The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) has resulted in a significant revolution in healthcare data due to its ability to emulate human cognitive processes. The driving force behind this transformation arises from the growing availability of healthcare data and the rapid advancements in mathematical paradigms. The present study investigates the ongoing progress of artificial intelligence (AI) implementations in the healthcare sector. The current body of literature [27–29] covers many artificial intelligence (AI) methods that are frequently used in the healthcare industry. Furthermore, the authors [30–32] provide a thorough examination of the field of medical image analysis. The medical literature has presented contrasting perspectives on the ramifications of AI [33–35]. The incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) into a device holds potential for improving clinical decision making by offering up-to-date medical knowledge sourced from conferences, manuals, and publications [36]. AI systems have the potential to aid in the eradication of therapeutic and medical errors that are inevitable, particularly those that are replicated and objective, in the context of human clinical practice [36–38]. An AI system can utilize data from a large patient population to offer timely insights for predicting outcomes and delivering health risk alerts. Rule-based algorithms have demonstrated significant advancements in recent decades and have been applied in various domains such as electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis, disease detection, treatment selection for individual patients, and assisting physicians in formulating diagnostic theories and hypotheses for intricate patient scenarios. The process of developing decision rules and rule-based systems is arduous and expensive due to the need for accurate description and modifications made by humans. Therefore, the efficacy of the structures is constrained by the degree to which existing medical knowledge incorporates more advanced information from other fields [20, 39]. Similarly, the effort to integrate probabilistic and deterministic reasoning approaches to narrow down the range of appropriate treatment actions, prioritize medical theories, and consider the psychological environment presented a significant challenge [40, 41]. In comparison to the early iteration of artificial intelligence (AI) programs, which primarily relied on the curation of medical content by experts and the generation of state-of-the-art AI research, recent advancements have incorporated rigorous decision criteria that incorporate machine learning methodologies. As stated in ref. [42], these strategies help to clarify intricate connections. Machine learning algorithms acquire the capacity to generate the correct output for a given input in unfamiliar scenarios by analyzing patterns generated by labeled input–output pairs [43]. Supervised machine learning techniques aim to identify the optimal model parameters that minimize the imbalance between the expected outcomes in training instances and the observed consequences in real-world scenarios. The objective of this study is to develop contextual frameworks that may be utilized across different datasets. By employing the test dataset, one may assess the model’s capacity to generalize. When dealing with an unlabeled dataset, using unsupervised learning techniques might be advantageous for identifying sub-clusters inside the main dataset or detecting outliers. Additionally, it is imperative to acknowledge that supervised methodologies can be employed for the identification of low-dimensional images inside tagged datasets.

It is feasible to create AI systems that enable the early identification of unfamiliar patterns in data, without the need to establish decision-making rules for each task or evaluate complex relationships between input pieces. As a result, machine learning (ML) has become the dominant method for creating artificial intelligence (AI) applications [2, 44–46]. Figure 1.1 illustrates that the issue of limited sample learning could potentially be mitigated by including an additional refinement of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI), which involves the elimination of clinically irrelevant information. On the other hand, deep learning models often produce results that are beyond the comprehension of persons who lack knowledge in the respective domain.

The presence of several parameters in a deep learning model can provide challenges in understanding the machine’s ability to monitor clinical health data, such as CT scans. Several recent studies [6] have focused their attention on the problem of explainability in the field of medical artificial intelligence. These studies have been conducted to investigate this topic. There has been a significant amount of research conducted on the categorization and detection of COVID-19, as well as on the analysis of emotions, chest radiography, and the significance of interpretability in the field of medicine [47, 48]. These studies have been carried out in a variety of areas. A comprehensive illustration of the XAI system is shown above in Figure 1.2, which may be seen directly below. Certain research efforts are particularly concerned with retaining the interpretability of artificial intelligence (AI) models while simultaneously boosting their performance through the deployment of tactics that involve optimization and refinement [49, 50]. On the other hand, the authors of [51] focused their research on XAI in the context of electronic health records, while the writers of ref. [50] focused their investigation on the application of XAI in the healthcare industry. These two research each presented their findings to the audience. As a consequence of this, the objective of this study is to bring together the numerous classes of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) that are utilized in the respective fields of medicine and healthcare. This objective will be completed by analyzing these categories in connection to dimension reduction, feature selection, attention mechanism, knowledge distillation, and surrogate representations that make use of XAI. This will be the means by which this objective will be realized. To be more specific, artificial intelligence techniques, such as deep learning, have recently had a profoundly transformative effect on the healthcare business. This is especially true in the domains of diagnosis and surgery. Certain diagnostic tasks that are based on deep learning indicate a superior level of accuracy when compared to the diagnostic activities that are done by experienced medical professionals. Additionally, the lack of transparency that exists within the DL model creates challenges when it comes to interpreting their findings and putting them into practice in clinical environments. When it comes to the actual application of artificial intelligence in a clinical environment, an increasing number of specialists in the field of artificial intelligence and healthcare have arrived at the opinion that the ability of an AI model to be well understood by humans is more significant than the accuracy of the model itself. Before putting into practice and making use of technologies that involve artificial intelligence and medical robotics, it is absolutely necessary to have a good grasp of how these technologies function. Due to the fact that this is the case, there is a reason to carry out a survey concerning the explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) in the field of medicine. The reason for this is that XAI is essential for the social acceptance of applications of artificial intelligence in the field of medicine.

1.3 Reason for Using XAI

Techniques based on artificial intelligence, such as deep learning, have recently had a profoundly revolutionary effect on the healthcare business, particularly in the fields of surgery and diagnostics. Diagnostic tasks that are based on deep learning demonstrate a higher level of accuracy when compared to those that are carried out by medical practitioners. The lack of transparency that exists inside the DL model creates challenges for clarifying their findings and putting them into practice in clinical settings. The practical application of an artificial intelligence model in a clinical context places a larger focus on its communicability to humans rather than its accuracy, according to a growing group of specialists in the confluence of artificial intelligence and healthcare with regard to the practical application of AI models. Before putting artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in the medical field into practice and employing them, it is essential to have a complete understanding of how these applications work. Given that explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) is a necessary requirement for the acceptability of artificial intelligence applications in the medical sector, there is a motive to conduct a survey on medical XAI. This particular survey will focus on XAI.

1.3.1 Applications of XAI Algorithms in Different Scenarios

In the medical domain, the primary aim of artificial intelligence applications is to examine the correlations between clinical data and patient outcomes. Artificial intelligence programs are utilized in various medical fields, such as diagnostics, treatment protocol development, drug discovery, personalized medicine, and patient monitoring and care. XAI enables the user to understand the functioning and predictive capabilities of the model. Given the utilization of AI systems in the classification of medical images, explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) offers a comprehensive elucidation of the model’s functioning and effectively emphasizes the image elements that exert the most significant influence on prediction. We can see many applications of XAI algorithms in different scenarios in the following Table 1.1.

1.3.2 Discussion on Different Aspects of XAI

There is still a large amount of work that needs to be accomplished to come up with and control artificial intelligence systems that can be depended upon effectively. For the purpose of determining the extent to which explain ability contributes to the creation of trustworthy artificial intelligence, we carried out research. These actions were taken due to the fact that trustworthiness and explain ability are inextricably linked to one another. The researchers propose a framework that comprises actual ideas for selecting among classes of XAI techniques to expand upon prior surveys that have been carried out in recent times [12, 19]. This is something that we have done to expand upon earlier surveys. As a consequence of this, we provided definitions that were advantageous and supplied various enhancements to the existing body of research concerning quantitative evaluation measures. An increased effort is currently being made to boost people’s faith in artificial intelligence, and experimental artificial intelligence (XAI) is currently being investigated as a part of that endeavor. An extensive amount of work has been completed in the field of medicine by utilizing machine learning algorithms for the goal of automating diagnosis and prognosis [29]. This has been accomplished through the use of these tactics. The growth of a range of medical challenges has supplied researchers in the disciplines of machine learning and artificial intelligence with a source of inspiration, as can be seen from grand-challenge.org. This is something that can be observed. To accomplish effectiveness, it is possible to make use of digital learning models that make use of U-Net for the purpose of medical segmentation. U-Net, on the other hand, is still a total and utter mystery. This is because it is a neural network that is built with the capability of deep learning. MICCAI publications, have provided substantial information on a range of additional approaches and specific transformations, including denoising, among others. These publications’ scope of coverage is wide. In these pages, further methods and transformations that have been applied are described in depth. When it comes to the topic of medicine, the idea of interpretability extends far beyond the area of meaningless speculation. On the other hand, some sectors do not take into account the dangers and responsibilities that are related with the interpretability of medical information. There is a possibility that an individual will pass away as a consequence of the judgments that are made in the field of medicine. These decisions have the potential to have life-threatening consequences. The search for medical explainability has also resulted in the release of a number of new articles, which are a consequence of the fact that this has occurred. Through the presentation of a summary of previous research, the objective of this paper is to bring to light the significance of interpretability in the field of medicine. The assessments that are included in these studies are those that are specific to a particular discipline such as for sentiment analysis and chest radiography in medicine. It is mentioned directly in that the application of artificial intelligence in dermatology is highly constrained due to the fact that it is unable to give tailored evaluations. This is the reason for the significant limitations. The field of dermatology is one in which this is especially true.

1.4 Challenges and Future Prospects

Models have the ability to streamline complex systems. Insufficient use of deep neural networks (DNNs) with multiple parameters might result in underutilized machine learning capabilities. To leverage the excitement of predictive science, it is advisable to incorporate advanced elements into an existing model, hence, enabling the acquisition of further insights. The enhanced model need to exhibit similarities to its predecessors and incorporate a comprehensive elucidation of the interconnections between the incorporated components and previously disregarded discoveries. Although certain industry-specific techniques continue to be widely used, there is a growing trend toward the adoption of strong machine learning algorithms. The field of medical machine learning is now in its early stages and encompasses fragmented and experimental implementations of existing or bespoke interpretable methodologies. Interpretability research may offer latent potential despite the emphasis on enhancing accuracy and performance in feature selection and extraction.
