A mutual information based adaptive thresholding step lets the system tune signature extraction per patient rather than applying a one-size-fits-all cutoff. The team tested the approach on four datasets - public breast ultrasound, renal CT, and brain tumor cohorts, plus a private renal CT set from UF Health - and reported better discriminative performance than conventional whole-tumor radiomics on each.\n\nThe interpretability gap has been the practical ceiling on AI in clinical imaging: a model that hits 90% accuracy but cannot explain its reasoning cannot get past an institutional review board, let alone a skeptical radiologist. By anchoring the model's attention maps to reproducible radiomic features scored with SHAP, this framework produces outputs that can be audited, challenged, and potentially submitted as evidence in a regulatory dossier.\n\nThe work does not claim clinical deployment readiness - the private cohort is one institution, and real-world validation across scanner types and patient demographics remains the hard part that papers like this tend to leave for future work.","[\"ai\",\"medical imaging\",\"radiology\",\"explainability\"]","2026-07-07T04:00:00.000Z","2026-07-07T10:06:30.484Z","2026-07-07T10:06:33.379Z","published",null,[],"ai",[24,26,27,28],"medical imaging","radiology","explainability",[30],{"name":31,"url":32},"arXiv cs.AI","https:\u002F\u002Farxiv.org\u002Fabs\u002F2607.03593",0,{"sections":35},[36,40,45,50,55,60,65,70,75,79,84,88,93,98],{"name":37,"slug":24,"count":38,"latest_published_at":39},"AI",2590,"2026-07-16T04:00:00.000Z",{"name":41,"slug":42,"count":43,"latest_published_at":44},"Security","security",294,"2026-07-15T19:59:48.000Z",{"name":46,"slug":47,"count":48,"latest_published_at":49},"Deals","deals",179,"2026-06-29T20:02:07.000Z",{"name":51,"slug":52,"count":53,"latest_published_at":54},"Policy","policy",158,"2026-07-16T00:02:48.000Z",{"name":56,"slug":57,"count":58,"latest_published_at":59},"Hardware","hardware",122,"2026-07-14T19:46:26.000Z",{"name":61,"slug":62,"count":63,"latest_published_at":64},"Consumer Tech","consumer-tech",93,"2026-07-13T13:20:48.000Z",{"name":66,"slug":67,"count":68,"latest_published_at":69},"Software","software",70,"2026-07-13T19:52:25.000Z",{"name":71,"slug":72,"count":73,"latest_published_at":74},"Science","science",66,"2026-07-10T10:29:37.000Z",{"name":76,"slug":77,"count":78,"latest_published_at":18},"Dev Tools","dev-tools",59,{"name":80,"slug":81,"count":82,"latest_published_at":83},"Gaming","gaming",41,"2026-07-09T04:00:00.000Z",{"name":85,"slug":86,"count":82,"latest_published_at":87},"Startups","startups","2026-06-29T20:55:50.000Z",{"name":89,"slug":90,"count":91,"latest_published_at":92},"General","general",29,"2026-07-10T22:28:58.000Z",{"name":94,"slug":95,"count":96,"latest_published_at":97},"Reviews","reviews",20,"2026-06-24T12:00:01.000Z",{"name":99,"slug":100,"count":101,"latest_published_at":102},"How-To","how-to",6,"2026-06-16T09:00:00.000Z"]
