Reliable and explainable deep learning for brain tumor diagnosis: Uncertainty-calibrated MRI classification with external validation

Reliable brain-tumor diagnosis from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) requires more than high classification accuracy. Deep neural networks can be overconfident under scanner, protocol, demographic, and disease-spectrum shifts, while visually plausible explanations may not faithfully identify the evidence driving a pred...
