Area of Science:

Artificial Intelligence
Medical Imaging
Machine Learning

Background:

Deep learning models in medical imaging can perpetuate and amplify human bias, leading to diagnostic disparities.
Existing research on improving fairness in deep learning for medical image classification is limited.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate an algorithm that reduces bias in deep learning-based medical image classification.
To improve fairness in both individual and intersectional subgroups while maintaining overall model performance.

Main Methods:

Proposed an algorithm leveraging marginal pairwise equal opportunity to mitigate bias.
Evaluated the algorithm across four distinct tasks using four independent, large-scale cohorts.

Main Results:

Demonstrated significant improvements in fairness across subgroups, with a >35% reduction in pairwise fairness difference.
Maintained high overall performance, with Area Under the Curve (AUC) changes typically within 1% compared to baseline models.

Conclusions:

The proposed algorithm effectively reduces bias in deep learning models for medical image classification.
This approach enhances the fairness and reliability of AI-driven computer-aided diagnosis systems.
