contents Improving calibration performance in deep learning (DL) classification models is important when planning the use of DL in a decision-support setting. In such a scenario, a confident wrong prediction could lead to a lack of trust and/or harm in a high-risk application. We evaluate the impact on accuracy and calibration of two types of approach that aim to improve DL classification model calibration: deterministic uncertainty methods (DUM) and uncertainty-aware training. Specifically, we test the performance of three DUMs and two uncertainty-aware training approaches as well as their combinations. To evaluate their utility, we use two realistic clinical applications from the field of cardiac imaging: artefact detection from phase contrast cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and disease diagnosis from the public ACDC CMR dataset. Our results indicate that both DUMs and uncertainty-aware training can improve both accuracy and calibration in both of our applications, with DUMs generally offering the best improvements. We also investigate the combination of the two approaches, resulting in a novel deterministic uncertainty-aware training approach. This provides further improvements for some combinations of DUMs and uncertainty-aware training approaches.
