Cover Story: This review provides an overview of explainable AI (XAI) methods for oncological ultrasound image analysis and compares their performance evaluations. A systematic search of Medline Embase and Scopus between 25 March and 14 April 2024 identified 17 studies describing 14 XAI methods, including visualization, semantic, example-based, and hybrid functions. These methods primarily provide specific, local, and post hoc explanations. Performance evaluations focused on AI model performance, with limited assessments of the impact of explainability; standardized evaluations incorporating clinical end users were generally lacking. Enhanced XAI transparency may facilitate AI integration into clinical workflows. Future research should develop real-time methodologies and standardized quantitative evaluative metrics. View this paper
