Explainable AI for Transparent and Trustworthy Medical Decision Support equips readers with a comprehensive and timely resource that presents the principles, methodologies, and real-world applications of explainable AI (XAI) within the medical context. Covering a wide range of use cases—from radiology and pathology to genomics and clinical decision support systems—the book provides in-depth discussions on how XAI techniques can enhance interpretability, improve clinician trust, meet regulatory requirements, and ultimately lead to better patient outcomes. The book demystifies the workings of machine learning models and highlights techniques that make them interpretable.It is designed to empower not only AI researchers and developers but also healthcare administrators and policymakers with the knowledge needed to evaluate, adopt, and trust AI solutions in critical medical applications. The book's authors bring together theory, implementation strategies, ethical implications, and case studies under one cover, offering a multidisciplinary perspective that aligns computer science with medical practice and healthcare policy. - Presents detailed coverage of XAI methods such as SHAP, LIME, and Grad-CAM applied to medical data - Provides numerous case studies in diagnostics, ICU prediction, and radiology using explainable models - Includes discussions on ethics, bias, and regulatory frameworks such as GDPR and HIPAA
