"In recent years, deep learning has shown impressive performance in medical imaging analysis. However, for a model to be useful in the real world, it needs to be valid and trustworthy. The uncertainty quantification (UQ) methods determine the calibrated level of a model’s confidence in its predictions. Moreover, UQ can demonstrate biases caused by overconfidence or lack of confidence in the model’s predictions. By enabling UQ in medical deep learning models, users can be alerted when a model ...
