The paper introduces a new framework for generating medical image counterfactuals that does not rely on auxiliary generative models. By extracting causal evidence directly from a classifier, the method deterministically produces edits within user-specified regions, requiring no additional training. Experiments on real-world medical imaging datasets show that these counterfactuals alter classifier predictions while staying closer to the original image than generative baselines, offering a clearer view of the model’s decision boundary.

By extracting causal evidence directly from the classifier, the approach deterministically edits user-specified regions to alter predictions while staying closer to the original image than generative baselines. Experiments on real-world medical imaging datasets show that this technique provides a more direct and transparent view of the classifier’s decision boundary.

Medical image segmentation models can achieve strong benchmark performance while remaining sensitive to scanner, protocol, and institutional variation. These context shifts alter image appearance without changing the underlying lesion, allowing models to exploit nuisance cues that Dice and HD95 fail to expose.
Medical image classification models are ideally expected to identify diagnostically relevant regions while making predictions, yet standard classification losses rarely provide spatial supervision. Explicit supervision via anatomical shape information, such as segmentation masks of task-relevant anatomy, has been shown to guide the network toward regions relevant to the target prediction.
