A new research paper published on arXiv investigates the attribution methods used to explain the decisions of deep learning models in echocardiography. The study found that while these models can accurately estimate left-ventricular ejection fraction (EF) and their explanations are spatially faithful, they are temporally blind. This means the models do not reliably focus on the critical end-systolic and end-diastolic frames that define EF, despite appearing to focus on the correct anatomical regions. The findings caution against relying solely on spatial attribution for validating video diagnostic models and highlight the need for temporally-aware training and evaluation. AI
