contents To date, several methods have been developed to explain deep learning algorithms for classification tasks. Recently, an adaptation of two of such methods has been proposed to generate instance-level explainable maps in a semantic segmentation scenario, such as multiple sclerosis (MS) lesion segmentation. In the mentioned work, a 3D U-Net was trained and tested for MS lesion segmentation, yielding an F1 score of 0.7006, and a positive predictive value (PPV) of 0.6265. The distribution of values in explainable maps exposed some differences between maps of true and false positive (TP/FP) examples. Inspired by those results, we explore in this paper the use of characteristics of lesion-specific saliency maps to refine segmentation and detection scores. We generate around 21000 maps from as many TP/FP lesions in a batch of 72 patients (training set) and 4868 from the 37 patients in the test set. 93 radiomic features extracted from the first set of maps were used to train a logistic regression model and classify TP versus FP. On the test set, F1 score and PPV were improved by a large margin when compared to the initial model, reaching 0.7450 and 0.7817, with 95% confidence intervals of [0.7358, 0.7547] and [0.7679, 0.7962], respectively. These results suggest that saliency maps can be used to refine prediction scores, boosting a model's performances.
