The paper introduces Interpretable Utility Similarity (IUS), a novel metric for quantifying how closely a synthetic image set matches a real image set in terms of usefulness for deep‑learning clinical decision support systems. IUS is interpretable, leveraging generalized neural additive models to explain why one synthetic dataset may outperform another based on clinically relevant image features. Experiments on color medical imaging modalities—endoscopic, dermoscopic, and fundus—show that selecting synthetic images with high IUS can boost classification performance by up to 54.6%, and the method also generalizes to grayscale X‑ray and ultrasound data.

Color Fundus Photography (CFP) is a primary non-invasive imaging modality for large-scale screening of ophthalmic and systemic diseases. Existing surveys mainly summarize task-specific algorithms, datasets, or preprocessing techniques independently, lacking a unified perspective on their co-evolution with modern artificial intelligence.
arXiv:2607. 02185v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep learning has achieved remarkable performance in medical image segmentation, yet it suffers from critical limitations: mathematical intractability, substantial parameter requirements, and lack of clinical interpretability.
