Towards Trustworthy AI for Glioma Diagnosis: A Task-Aware Evaluation of Uncertainty Quantification

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.39429v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) is a key requirement for trustworthy AI in high-stakes medical image analysis. In this work, we evaluate UQ in a multi-task Deep Learning framework for MRI-based glioma diagnosis that performs tumor segmentation and predicts IDH mutation status, 1p/19q co-deletion status, and tumor grade. Monte Carlo Dropout (MCD) is used for a detailed task-aware analysis of predictive, aleatoric, and epistemic uncertainty. We assess MC sample convergence, calibration, error detection, selective prediction, associations with segmentation performance, and the effect of voxel-wise uncertainty aggregation on case-level reliability. We also compare MCD with Deep Ensembles (DE) and Monte Carlo Deep Ensembles (MCDE), examine inter
