Researchers have introduced a new metric called the Explanation Consistency Score (ECS) to evaluate fairness in medical imaging models. This score, based on Jensen-Shannon divergence, quantifies how similar the attribution maps are across different demographic groups. In a case study involving diabetic retinopathy screening, the ECS revealed that while predictive performance varied among ethnic groups, the explanation consistency remained high and was not significantly linked to these performance disparities. The findings suggest that explanation consistency offers a complementary perspective to predictive performance when assessing model fairness. AI
